#Oops. The #Crowdstrike crash was caused by having a function with 21 input parameters but the integration code only checked 20. This worked for a while until the fatal update used the 21st parameter for the first time and all went wrong.

"Therefore, the attempt to access the 21st value produced an out-of-bounds memory read beyond the end of the input data array and resulted in a system crash." Page 2 of https://www.crowdstrike.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Channel-File-291-Incident-Root-Cause-Analysis-08.06.2024.pdf

A company paid a ransomware group.. then had their info leaked by the same ransomware group anyway. Not isolated at all, eg UnitedHealthcare paid $20m and then got extorted again by the same person.

Stop paying ransomware groups. You are directly funding serious organised crime. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/pandabuy-pays-ransom-to-hacker-only-to-get-extorted-again/
