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.
网络安全概念公司CrowdStrike Inc.（NASDAQ：CRWD）在上周全球计算机系统崩溃事件后向其合作伙伴提供了一张10美元的Uber Eats礼品卡作为道歉。
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.
事件经过：CrowdStrike向其合作伙伴发送电子邮件，邀请其领取礼品卡对7月19日事件造成的不便表示歉意。周三，据TechCrunch报道，该电子邮件是由公司的首席业务官Daniel Bernard发送的。
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，一些合作伙伴在尝试兑换礼品卡时报告了错误消息，说明该券已被取消。据报道，CrowdStrike发言人Kevin Benacci证实，该公司已经发出了礼品卡。"由于使用率过高，Uber将其标记为欺诈行为，" Benacci解释道。
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.
上周五，CrowdStrike发布了一个有错误的更新，导致约850万台Windows设备无法使用，延误机场、医院和全球商业的正常运营。
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.
首席执行官George Kurtz和首席安全官Shawn Henry对这一事件公开道歉。"对于我们的客户和合作伙伴放入CrowdStrike的信任和信心，这对我来说是最重要的事情。" 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.
为什么它重要：CrowdStrike的安全机制中存在一个漏洞，导致全球计算机系统崩溃，公司在一份声明中承认这一点。这个错误的更新导致了广泛的破坏，影响了微软公司（NASDAQ：MSFT）全球系统的Windows强制运行。这一事件对多个国家的航空公司、银行和股票交易所的关键操作产生了重大影响。
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事故也对Delta Air Lines Inc等公司产生了严重的财务影响，Delta Air Lines Inc由于成千上万航班取消而面临着5亿美元的财务损失。该事件还引发了一项对该航空公司应对措施的联邦调查。
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在最近的声明中披露，该问题源于Falcon平台的快速响应内容，由于更新中未检测到错误，导致系统崩溃。
