Jesus dude, your still on this, I wrote off this convo forever ago.
This will destroy Crowdstrike. They will not exist in a year. This is not "just a blip" lol. Many companies have collapsed over much more than this.
You make so many assumptions. How do you know they didn't test it? How do you know a wrong build didn't go out? You're entire stance is based on assumptions fed by anecdotes from limited experience.
Remember solarwinds... that was supposed to destroy them to. Still here though.
You seemed surprised companies would risk a catastrophic bug because it would destroy them. But this will be the evidence that it won't. And yes, the most likely cause was that the copy process failed somewhere along the line. But testing hashes of the update against what you actually tested is part of qa. And clearly testing didn't happen somewhere critical.
