Maybe their gift card list got hacked

I'd wonder if this was a hack. Seems like a decent attempt at phishing.

Actually that'd be far better than if it were really Crowdstrike thinking $10 would resolve this.

I think op was being cheeky. Many people uninformed on the outage assumed the CS issue was breach/hack-related.

So I believe OP cleverly circled that back around to the gift card. WP.

They should have run Crowdstroke on their infrastructure

I am sure they just issued a wrong update to their list. No big deal.-

They obviously didn't plan for this error.

Just like they didn't plan for their testing infrastructure to have its infamous error.

It’s okay, I noticed your pun, it was funny :)

Crowdstrike: Irredeemable just like their vouchers!
