The Crowdstrike homepage is unintentionally hilarious today
@soatok Yup... also got hit by this, too. On my Linux laptop as a fallback.

Not only the site root, but also many of the press releases.

@[email protected] It's an interesting thought, but Brody Nisbet called it a "channel file" and the basename wildcard to match is "C-00000291*.sys" so it might not even be code. In the meantime, as the world tries to find out what "channel files" are in CrowdStrikeSpeak, enjoy the irony of this press release. https://crowdstrike.com/press-releases/falcon-filevantage-pinpoints-adversary-activity-through-file-integrity-monitoring/ #NeverWindows11 #MO821132 #CrowdStrike

@soatok My workplace was hit hard too. As the front end developer for their website, I had to panic place a message regarding it because of angry customers calling us regarding the outage (and the unavailability of the secure login page)

@soatok

The better question

Will all these organizations taken offline be able to be compensated?

The constant refrain of why to choose a corporate product over open source is accountability if something goes wrong.

So how will the accountability happen?
