How CrowdStrike bricked systems worldwide

Don't think they were on their knees.

This was more a c^ck up by them choosing CS to start with... CS is nothing more than a bunch of scammers hiring those puppet masters named Gartner to boost their sales!

Sies!!!!
 
Capitec is STILL fokop. App is glitchy as fck and ATMs do not work. R5 POS Bank.
 
I think you should also mention to how quickly Capitec was able to recover from this says a lot about their IT setup. While others were down for hours, many Capitec clients were still able transact.

Mainframes is what core banking runs on. IBM. Was probably just the middleware\a shim they had to restore., opposed to others who still cannot restore because their bitlocker keys are still locked up.
 
Don't have app and do not need to withdraw cash, so still not impacted.
Problem is with my domestic. I can transfer money to her Capitec account, but she can't use and ATM to buy her family bread and milk where she lives.
 
Look my biggest fear is that the fallout of this is going to make companies install McAfee Enterprise crap on their computers again.

The one thing I can say for Crowdstrike is that it is not McAfee.
