This may end up in one of those court evidence videos or lawsuits - this isn’t a funny thing. This would have been a closed moment (just a bunch of security nerds discussing something) but instead this is now freely available for the wider general public who had major grievances to lampoon them.

> This may end up in one of those court evidence videos or lawsuits - this isn’t a funny thing. I didn't take the CrowdStrike's executive as making light of the situation, at all. If anything, I thought his speech took it seriously, acknowledged it was a major, major fuckup, and basically said he was accepting the trophy as a mark of shame and as a cautionary tale for future CrowdStrike employees. I thought the exec accepting this was a true class act (to emphasize, saying that in no way should imply that I think it absolves CrowdStrike of responsibility, or liability, for what happened).

  Context is everything. They had every chance to own up from the day of until now. A ‘lulz haha we goofed up’ in a nerdy security conference doesn’t seem like the right place or time.

    I'm not sure what your definition of "own up to it" is, but they issued an apology day-of.

      Apologies don’t mean anything from a c-level suit (George Kurtz) that has known history of causing outages. The culture at crowdstrike of being accountable is a facade.

Can make it funny, via a T-shirt: When I use REGEXP I use it in my KERNEL CODE Tragedy and comedy, same coin...
