Former employees of CrowdStrike raised concerns about rushed software quality checks, with one employee being fired for criticizing the company’s return-to-work policy. Incidents of private customer data being mistakenly shared were confirmed, along with issues related to Falcon LogScale service. The launch of Falcon OverWatch Cloud Threat Hunting was rushed, lacking internal tools and experienced staff. CrowdStrike denied several allegations, stating that its employees are trained and that the company maintains a high-performance culture. The company faced a major outage costing billions in stock-market value, also leading to lawsuits, including one from Delta Airlines. At a hacker convention, CrowdStrike received an award for the “Most Epic Fail.”
