I’m not sure anything else was material given that the machines were bricked and client roll-out approaches were evaded by Crowdstrike. What client actions would have helped?
Surely someone is looking at a class action? People died. The contract can’t make that everyone else’s problem, can it?
- lupire 2y agoIf someone's life depends on a networked Windows (or any similar OS) machine you chose to run for that purpose, you are the criminal.

- gizmo686 2y agoSure it can. If every rock climbing company in the country decides that climbing ropes are too expensive and instead decide to by rope from the local hardware store, and that rope has a warning reading "not for use when life or valuable property is at risk", then it is 100% on those climbing companies when people die, because they were using a product in a situation that it was simply not suitable for. The details, of course, depend on the contract and claims that Crowdstrike made. But, in the abstract, you are not responsible for making your product suitable for any use that anyone decides to use it for. If a hospital wants to install software on their life critical infastructure, they are supposed to buy software that is suitable for life critical infastructure.
