CrowdStrike's reasoning is that an instantaneous global rollout helps them protect against rapidly spreading malware.

However, I doubt they need an instantaneous rollout for every deployment.




Well, millions of PCs bluescreening at the same time does help stop a rapidly spreading malware.

Only this time, crowdstrike itself has become indistinguishable from malware.


Whe I first saw news about the outage I was wondering what this malware "CrowdStrike" was. I mean, the name kind of sounds hostile.


They say that, but all I hear is immune system triggering a cytokine storm and killing you because it was worried you may catch a cold.


I feel like they need to at least first rollout to themselves
