You're correct. Full of zeros at least.

…according to a Twitter post by the Chief Informational Security Officer of Grand Canyon Education.

So, does anyone else find it odd that the file that caused everything CrowdStrike to freak out, C-00000291-
00000000-00000032.sys was 42KB of blank/null values, while the replacement file C-00000291-00000000-
00000.033.sys was 35KB and looked like a normal, if not obfuscated sys/.conf file?

Also, apparently CrowdStrike had at least 5 hours to work on the problem between the time it was discovered and the time it was fixed.

    You call it unregulated, but that is the natural trend for when the only acceptable goal is the greater accumulation of wealth.

    Yes…obviously.

    And that IS dysfunctional capitalism.

    Until there are inherent mechanisms within capitalism to prevent special interest money from pushing policy and direct regulatory capture

    That’s exactly what I’m saying, dude.

    This is NOT capitalism working as intended. This is broken capitalism. Runaway capitalism. Corrupt capitalism.

      Its like saying we just need good kings, no ids a bad system. Any capitalist system will devolve in corruption and monopoly. No regulations can survive the unavailable regulatory capture and corruption.
