Fabrice Epelboin, a teacher at Sciences Po Paris and an entrepreneur, says the outages will likely cost the global economy billions of dollars.

We all know that’s a LIE🤥
This guy says it wasn’t an Attack, and He Doesn’t even Work for the Company. Believe what you want. Skynet is REAL. And no governments are stopping it. None.📉🚪
First You learn about programming, never release an untested software
Try Trillions…..
Something must be done! Install Linux!
Billions? how many billions? a couple billion isn't bad but hundreds? now that's a lot of damage
Because Russia and China were wise enough not to be part of the this system they were not affected.
How can pushing one button = billions of dollars.
The fragility of so many daily depend systems is alarming
Putin & Xi laughing in the corner.
well … with ms trusting all these hack security third parties … time to say good bye windows … hello linux
Europe has been completely useless as it just cannot make itself a linux-based system. We only have von d Lyin ordering billions worth of medical products just by herself using her mobile phone. Corrupted, inept organisation.
Not cyber attack? 😅
At a Global Impact? 😅
It's calculated. If it was admitted as a cyberattack, then next breaking news is who or what country did this?
So, this is one of the weakness of all countries? 😮 Vulnerable timing for due to a country's weakness?
No insurance company will cover this unless is cyber attack. CrowdStrike won't pay because T&C of Falcon endpoint software. Customers should read small print and choose wisely next time.
Posive thing. Most people in the world will know CrowdStrike 😂
I don't think SolarWinds caused that much impact, even though the Russian hacked SolarWinds.
So the security teacher says a deniel of service is not that bad, which You could consider what happens on CrowdStrike.
This is BAD. Anyone who has their drive encrypted with bitlocker better hope they have their backup keys. 😬
By the way don't assume the contract will protect the company from the impending class action.
This is basically more costly than the pandemic
Airline systems in particular are offline several times in recent years. Was anyone smart enough to be prepare for this or is this the best we can do?
Are you planning to sue crowdstrike? Please let me know!😊
Some say DEI is responsible for this. Just sayin
