>CrowdStrike is facing fresh backlash after giving staff and firms they work with a $10 UberEats voucher to say sorry for a global IT outage that caused chaos across airlines, banks and hospitals last week.>The cybersecurity company - whose software update on Friday affected 8.5 million computers worldwide - said in an email to its partners that it recognised the incident had caused extra work.>"To express our gratitude, your next cup of coffee or late night snack is on us!" CrowdStrike wrote, directing people to use a code to access the $10 credit.
Why would they bother doing this? They know their ass is gonna get sued, did they genuinely think this would accomplish something?
>>101569931>$10after the restaurant's markup, the delivery charge, and the tip the driver wants, that won't buy you an order of french fries
>>101570015Thinking?
>>101569931What can you even get from UberEats for $10? Even a typical McDonald's meal will cost you more than that at checkout.
>>101569931>uber eats voucher>not even 10 real fucking dollarspoor wagies
>>101570015From listening the No Agenda podcast, they seem to think its a liability.If they issue gift cards and admit to fault, they are accepting liability. They apparently revokoed the gift cards after the fact to apparently try to get out of this.More concerning is that they also report Microsoft Azure issues prior to the crowdstrike incident. Which is why I'm posting here.Is Microsoft Azure compromised? Is MFA being bypassed?Cyber Polygon?
>>101570125I was thinking that too. You can't even get a 10 piece chicken nugget meal at mcdonalds with that $10 uber eats coupon. It's more like a slap in the face.
how philanthropic
>>101569931This isn't for their customers btw, this is for their own CrowdStrike-brand wagies. I don't know what everyone's upset about, fixing their company's fuckups is part of their job. I'd be much more upset if I was a CrowdStrike customer forced to fix their fuckup on my own time.
was anything permanently ruined?no? get over it
>>101570450>They apparently revokoed the gift cards after the fact to apparently try to get out of this.Ubereats suspended the gift cards because too many people were redeeming them and it automatically flagged the code as fraudulent. I think they're working again.
>>101570551>fixing their company's fuckups is part of their jobonly 9 to 5overtime should be paid double, instead they got digital $10
SARRR!!! DO REDEEM THE GIFT CARD!!!!! SARRRRRRR!!!!!
>>101570117>DO NOT REDEEM THE DRIVER SAAAR!!!
why are they like this
>>101569931This is the funniest attempt at damage control i've ever seen. That company is fucked. What's next, they going to try a pizza day? Hawaiian t-shirt fridays? XD
>>101570578Whoa wait what whats the codeI could go for a McMeal
your data and time is worth $10 to these companies
>>101570578>Ubereats suspended the gift cardslmao
>>101569931I think some people already tried to redeem it and it didn't fucking work. Whatever PR asshole came up with this should be fired and then literally burned alive, just like the devs that didn't bother to do any testing.
>>101570117if the entire company gets outsourced, the c level just has to blame the contracting company
>>101569931It's a dog whistle to short CRWD.
>>101569931>affects a billion people>we can uh, offer you ten dollarsYeah anon welcome to class action lawsuits (and their lets-not-go-to-court step brother, the apology money). Home of the $1.86 check from a $300 million payout.
>>101570117It's always poos isn't it?
>>101569931you know what's even funnier?people are reporting that the vouchers had expired lmao
>>101571755They got paid time and a half plus the fake $10.
I've been saying since 2000 jeets suck at computers yet everyone else thinks they're tech gods. I blame the help desk call centers outsourcing.
>>101574981The point of such a lawsuit isn't personal gain (although sometimes there are huge pay days for victims). The point is to damage a company for more than 1 days profit like government tends to do with their weak ass fines>oops you did a whoopsy we'll take 1 day of your profits keep making mistakes we don't care.
>>101576815Anyone who wasn't on-call could just say no.That's what I did. Shit was fixed mostly in 30 minutes anyway for my company (billion dollar MSP).
Same vibe.
>>101570125In Portugal with Uber One (I got for almost nothing after the free trial) I can get 2 Angus burgers from Burger King for 8€.Too bad I'm a vegetarian that uses Linux.
op is so late to this news they already rescinded the vouchers four days ago
>>101569931If I were the CEO of Crowdstrike, I would worry about being sued. I mean nowhere in their terms & conditions does it say that a bad update could cause downtime. Because of their stupidity, they cost these companies money. They're liable.
you know the nsa is behind this whole thing, they needed the distraction to compromise azure on driver level
>>101570117and of course it's Uber Eats vouchers, so the money stays in the "family"
>>101569931if anything those overpaid troons deserve another crash
>>101577922That makes no sense to anybody who has dealt with them for help desk.
