CrowdStrike CEO Speaks To Taking Down The Entire Planet With A Bad AV Update…. And He Actually Apologizes For This Mess

Earlier today I posted a story about security company CrowdStrike taking down the entire planet with a bad antivirus update. In that story I pointed out that the CEO of CrowdStrike George Kurtz posted a Tweet where he completely failed to apologize for bringing the entire planet to a standstill. At the time I said this:

The problem with this Tweet is that he completely failed to apologize for basically taking down the entire planet because of a screw up with his product. If I used his product, I’d be looking to move to some other antivirus product. Because this Tweet to be frank, sucks.

Well, I guess someone must have told him that the Tweet in question didn’t go over well because I just found this on the YouTube channel of NBC:

You tell me about the quality of his response. I’m really not impressed by this as this kind of looks like a hostage video. But to be fair, he’s likely been up all night and he’s likely reconsidering his life choices. At least he apologized for taking down the entire planet, but maybe you have a different view. If so, post a comment and share it.
