This is insane. The company I currently work for provides dinky forms for local cities and such, where the worst thing that could happen is that somebody will have to wait a day to get their license plates, and even we aren't this stupid.

I feel like people should have to go to jail for this level of negligence.

Which makes me think--are we sure this isn't malicious?

As strange as it sounds, this just seems way to sophisticated to be malicious.

Maybe someone tried to backdoor Crowdstrike and messed up some shell code? It would fit and at this point we can't rule it out, but there is also no good reason to believe it. I prefer to assume incompetence over maliciousness.

Unfortunately, any sufficiently advanced stupidity indistinguishable from malice.
