A single tech bug caused chaos in the industry, affecting companies like Delta. Third-party agents supporting CrowdStrike software have been busy in the past week. As a token of appreciation, CrowdStrike offered a $10 Uber Eats voucher to those vendors. Some partners have experienced immense pressure as they are the point of contact for customers facing operational challenges. The voucher has been compared to an office pizza party, but it does little to address the financial impact. Cybercriminals have taken advantage of the situation, setting up fake websites. There have been misconceptions about who would receive the vouchers. The outage may have cost Fortune 500 companies billions of dollars, and there may be demands for compensation or possible lawsuits. So far, CrowdStrike has only apologized without providing financial remedies.
