“No one noticed” which is a cute way to say that Crowdstrike suppressed the media noticing. The day of the bug, the HN post had comments about how people tried reporting the issue months ago.
Even the article is written as people noticing. So who didn’t notice? Or were the issues not popular enough to be not ignored?
- rbanffy 2y agoI remember something about it, but, at the time I thought that very few people would install such software in Linux (and, indeed, very few companies do). The blast radius was minimal, probably smaller than a bad Nvidia driver.

That's because the crowdstrike agent is using all the CPU to scan every .deb package. And they're ar-tar packed, so unless there's a special algorithm to scan for them, nothing will ever be found in them anyway.
