Hello, security engineer that has installed CrowdStrike on thousands of computers. A thread on the outage and what is exactly happening. Here’s a quick explainer on what *seems* to be the cause of the CrowdStrike outage and why it happened so quickly.

Cc @cper711.bsky.social Tell me if the computers put up this morning 😜

Even I, Known Idiot, understood most of that!Even I, Known Idiot, understood most of that!

I am suddenly incredibly thankful I transitioned to being a freelance consultant.

Thank you!

More proof that “go fast and break things” does indeed break things. 😄

Dang, of course something like this happens while I’m on my mandatory 2 week vacation. Why don’t these fun things happen when I have to work?!

Thank you so much for this!!! 💜
