Based on the preliminary report Crowdstrike published, they're blaming a mishap during their upgrade process that essentially shared the wrong file, which is why they argue it escaped their testing.
I also lean towards there being nefarious intention behind it, but I can imagine a lot of different reasons for carrying it out.
On the other hand, I think the juiciest part of this is if people realize the more serious dangers of companies like Crowdstrike having such invasive access to systems running basically everything.
I get the logic behind anti-virus software, but there are definitely trade-offs when it comes to risk and centralization.
"more serious dangers of companies like Crowdstrike having such invasive access to systems running basically everything"
Absolutely, especially things like 911 services. I think Whitney Webb said that a large chunk of these are being outsourced to a company in Israel. Scary stuff.
Please let me know if you find anything else fishy about (Crowdstrike), as they now figure as a suspect to be added to my list for my 'Cyber Attack Crisis' series.
I definitely gotta have you back on my podcast this Fall
Hi Gabriel. It has been a couple of crazy weeks indeed. Was just on SGT Report (see https://rumble.com/v599id7-deep-state-coupos-and-assassins-daniel-fournier.html) and we did briefly refer to the Crowdstrike incident that has all the markings of a FF.
What's your take on it (from a technical perspective)? Lot of red flags indicating a FF, or a legitimate failure/outage?
