Incredible work.

That’s the impressive part of all this. Microsoft didn’t do it. CloudStrike did it.
Microsoft left something in a state that allowed CloudStrike to fuck up enough to brick systems.
It’s why we spend a lot of time reviewing security analysis of our own software - if there’s a way to fuck everything up, it better not because we enabled it to get fucked.
