Recent Incident

In July 2024, a flawed software update led to a significant global outage, affecting approximately 8.5 million Windows computers. This incident resulted in substantial financial losses for affected companies and legal actions against CrowdStrike. Subsequently, some former employees have claimed that the company prioritized speed over quality control, which may have contributed to the incident. However, CrowdStrike disputes these claims, stating that the information came from "disgruntled former employees, some of whom were terminated for clear violations of company policy." The company has not publicly disclosed specific details about the number or identities of employees terminated in relation to this incident.
