Management: Well we lost 8 billion dollars but we still don't have any extra money for backups or remote reimaging or vdi, but we will buy you 700 plane tickets to go to each computer and boot it into safe mode, also you're fired
Much less invest in a memory safe language. If they don't take a serious look at Rust, Go, or some other memory-safe language... I'll stop right there: they won't. Management doesn't give a fuck as long as the cost is within manageable margins, or they can fire a bunch of scapegoats but change nothing.
while management at CrowdStrike: we are doubling the number of min commits and reviews per day to make up for the damage
I’m willing to bet the threat of evil admin attacks will keep people up for a while.
If they made it malicious, we probably wouldn’t have noticed though
Plus this event doesn't rule out the existence of a malicious aspect.
Nobody ever learned from the solarwinds attack. If a massive amount of your infrastructure is backed by some obscure software, bad actors will either try to insert a backdoor or find a zero-day exploit. If people are going to neglect what just happened, crowdstrike will fall heals up, faster than solarwinds did.
Wall Street bets regards linked to an evil admin attack? 😕
