    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”.

      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 .

        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!
