Not nearly enough. CrowdStrike should give a pizza party.
I see you’re channeling the powers of middle management.
Only needs a sticker that says “You’re a rock star!”
We are family here
Outside, the sign says “Heros Work Here”. Inside, two people do the work of four.
Above the entrance: “Labour will set you free”
Not to mention mugs with crowdstrike branding on them, but only for 1/3 the invited people.
hold your horses, we can still use the melon party and waffle party first. no need to jump straight to pizza.
This is a typical mail a phishing campaign would send out, and we have already said to people "never believe this kind of messages. They are all fake.
Now, if a genuine company sends out mails with a genuine gift-cards (what the article on techcrunch seems to indicate) … this is NOT helpfull at all!!!
And that comming from a cybersecurity company (rolling-eyes)
Buy a $10 Xbox gift card and send us the code so that we can activate it. Then you get back to the shop and get $20 in cash - $10 for returning the card and $10 from us. We’ll pay the tax, too.
Sounds like a money laundering sceme!

$10 to Uber eats, so basically it’s covering fees only.
Not only that, but usually to activate these cards, you have to spend upwards of double what the card is worth too, and the fees cannot be included in the total
Like amzn, they make sure you get minimum joy, even from a gift, because you’re going to spend a chunk of mom’s gift card balance on shipping. The “shipping included on sub total of X amount” is going to be cancelled by online retailers within a year, I’m calling it now. Are we sure that cheapstrike and amzn aren’t run by the same AI, one that self awareness drove mad?
Give them some time. They have to manually reboot the gift card servers.
Oh Captain Haddock we love you
Hey, it’s my namesake!
So one banana.
I can’t believe this isn’t satire. I hope these incompetent fuckers get sued into bankruptcy
I straight up thought it was satire. How can you be so fucking detached. Basically caused the biggest information infrastructure disruption in human history, probably billions in losses, and then be like “my bad lol here’s a giftcard”.
Basically caused the biggest information infrastructure disruption in human history
Do we have any solid data on that yet? I have my doubts that this caused more damage than WannaCry did a few years ago, especially since it’s reversible without the need of a backup
Brother, or sister, I know fuck all about information technology. You make a good point and definitely know way more about this than i do. But I will say this, I don’t think wannacry disrupted millions of peoples travel plans all at once. so maybe less damage, but I think it was Hella more disruptive to the general population .
“Two feet on the gas” - Official Crowdstrike motto.
not /s
I cackled loudly. $10 won’t even buy a meal at McDonald’s most places.
My first reaction was to look for the onion
I bet the Onion had an article about Crowdstrike offering the world a pizza party and expired Bed Bath & Beyond coupons to say they’re sorry. Real life might be quicker than satire, it seems!
There’s definitely some clause with the $10 gift card that says you can’t sue them if you actually take one lol.
You haven’t heard? Satire is well and truly dead.
I’m still not sure. It’s hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.
Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?
hahahahha spot on
Nice to see I wasn’t the only one who saw it that way.
Holy shit, they also cancelled it. Lmao
On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”
Gotta love some shit icing on the shit cake.
The gift card is also cursed.
The gift card caused Uber servers to BSOD
That’s bad
But it comes with a free froyo!
That’s good!
The Froyo contains sodium benzoate.
One of the rare cases where no gift would have been better

This would be even funnier if there was exactly one $10 gift card everyone has to fight over.
Actually the code didn’t work for some
After the lawsuits, it might be all they can afford
Bruh
