I have four questions for Kurtz:
1. In 2010 you were CTO of McAfee when they shipped DAT file version 5958 which caused thousands of computers to crash.
In 2024 you’re CEO of CrowdStrike which has caused millions of computers to crash. Why haven’t you learned from your mistake the first time and how many do you aim to crash in 2038?
2. McAfee was forced to sell itself to Intel as a result. Who do you think will buy CrowdStrike once this debacle is over?
3. You left McAfee because you saw a laptop on a plane take 15 minutes to upgrade McAfee’s software. What do you have to say to everyone who was on a plane that was grounded for hours because of the CrowdStrike upgrade?
4. You were paid 46 million USD for the previous year. How much do you think you personally owe in compensation for your latest blunder?

- yread 2y agowow 2010 is as far back as 2038 is in the future!

- syndicatedjelly 2y agoThis made me feel old…2010 was only like 3 or 4 years ago, right guys…?
- late2part 2y agoWho is CloudStrike?
- late2part 2y agoYou edited your post, which originally said CloudStrike. You make very bold criticisms for who gets the name of the company wrong.
