The delicate software supply chain

HI All

The great CrowdStrike patch failure of ‘24 (which is still unfolding as I’m writing this) is unlikely to have been a cyber-attack, but we won’t know for sure until CrowdStrike finishes its PIR and publishes the results.

It’s an interesting look into how modern software is built, and at this stage, it might be a bit unfair to pin everything onto CrowdStrike since we don’t know all the details. Testing updates can be complex – especially when you control only your part of the puzzle – since all modern software is built on top of other software – nobody builds from scratch any more.
