CrowdStrike Offers $10 Uber Eats Gift Card As Apology For Its Outage That Took Down 8.5M Windows Computers Globally: Some Users Report Their Vouchers Being Canceled
CrowdStrike Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD), the cybersecurity firm behind last week's global computer crash, is reportedly offering a $10 Uber Eats gift card to its partners as an apology.
網絡安全概念公司CrowdStrike Inc.（NASDAQ：CRWD）在上週全球計算機系統崩潰事件後向其合作伙伴提供了一張10美元的Uber Eats禮品卡作爲道歉。
What Happened: CrowdStrike sent out emails to its partners offering the gift card as a token of apology for the inconvenience caused by the Jul. 19 incident. The email was sent from the company's Chief Business Officer, Daniel Bernard, reported TechCrunch on Wednesday.
事件經過：CrowdStrike向其合作伙伴發送電子郵件，邀請其領取禮品卡對7月19日事件造成的不便表示歉意。週三，據TechCrunch報道，該電子郵件是由公司的首席業務官Daniel Bernard發送的。
However, some partners reported an error message when they tried to redeem the gift card, stating that the voucher had been canceled. CrowdStrike spokesperson, Kevin Benacci, confirmed according to the report, that the company had sent the gift cards. "Uber flagged it as fraud because of high usage rates," Benacci explained.
然而，一些合作伙伴在嘗試兌換禮品卡時報告了錯誤消息，說明該券已被取消。據報道，CrowdStrike發言人Kevin Benacci證實，該公司已經發出了禮品卡。"由於使用率過高，Uber將其標記爲欺詐行爲，" Benacci解釋道。
Last Friday, CrowdStrike released a faulty update that rendered around 8.5 million Windows devices unusable, causing delays at airports and hospitals, and paralyzing businesses worldwide.
上週五，CrowdStrike發佈了一個有錯誤的更新，導致約850萬台Windows設備無法使用，延誤機場、醫院和全球商業的正常運營。
CEO George Kurtz and Chief Security Officer Shawn Henry have both publicly apologized for the incident. "Nothing is more important to me than the trust and confidence that our customers and partners have put into CrowdStrike," Kurtz stated.
首席執行官George Kurtz和首席安全官Shawn Henry對這一事件公開道歉。"對於我們的客戶和合作夥伴放入CrowdStrike的信任和信心，這對我來說是最重要的事情。" Kurtz表示。
Why It Matters: The global IT outage was a result of a bug in CrowdStrike's safety mechanism, as the company admitted in a statement. The faulty update led to widespread disruptions, affecting Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows-powered systems worldwide. This incident had significant impacts on crucial operations in airlines, banking, and stock exchanges across multiple countries.
爲什麼它重要：CrowdStrike的安全機制中存在一個漏洞，導致全球計算機系統崩潰，公司在一份聲明中承認這一點。這個錯誤的更新導致了廣泛的破壞，影響了微軟公司（NASDAQ：MSFT）全球系統的Windows強制運行。這一事件對多個國家的航空公司、銀行和股票交易所的關鍵操作產生了重大影響。
The CrowdStrike outage also had severe financial repercussions for companies like Delta Air Lines Inc., which faced a $500M financial hit due to thousands of flight cancellations. The incident also triggered a federal investigation into the airline's response.
CrowdStrike事故也對Delta Air Lines Inc等公司產生了嚴重的財務影響，Delta Air Lines Inc由於成千上萬航班取消而面臨着5億美元的財務損失。該事件還引發了一項對該航空公司應對措施的聯邦調查。
In a recent statement, CrowdStrike disclosed that the issue originated from the Falcon platform's Rapid Response Content, which inadvertently caused a system crash due to an undetected error in the update.
CrowdStrike在最近的聲明中披露，該問題源於Falcon平台的快速響應內容，由於更新中未檢測到錯誤，導致系統崩潰。
Despite CrowdStrike's recent challenges, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest bought a total of 20,219 shares of CrowdStrike, valued at approximately $5.34 million.
雖然CrowdStrike最近遇到了挑戰，但Cathie Wood領導的Ark Invest總共購買了20,219股CrowdStrike股票，價值約534萬美元。
