It’s amazing how much of our modern infrastructure is one small mistake from failure.

Kind of reminds me of the left pad incident only much worse.

It is difficult to pull a moral out of this story
Uh no it’s fucking not. Big corpos do whatever the fuck they want and see no real consequences. That’s it. That’s the moral.

Sort of, but this is a company with a valuation of 80+ billion dollars as opposed to that issue of huge companies relying on open source libraries like they have some sort of guarantee

I used to work in a rigid multinational with an IT department that mandated only approved applications and screened any updates as safe for integration with the standard office suite before release. Wtf happened and why is it now ok to let systems auto update by a third party?

My guess is that cybersecurity zero-day’s are so common that teams are worried that they don’t have the bandwidth to handle them in time which is the reason for using something like crowdstrike to begin with (“why have our own security team, which costs more money, when we can just install this software, which costs less money”)

I dunno. One developer thrown under the bus gives zero confidence to customers and shareholders that this exact same thing won’t happen again.
There’s sort of no way of only blaming ICs while simultaneously reassuring those who matter that We’ve Learned Our Lesson.
Or not. We’ll see I guess!
