Several people who received the CrowdStrike offer found that the gift card didn't work, while others got an error saying the voucher had been canceled.
Thank you for the clarification. WHQL is such a pain to set up, I’m sure the AV vendors whined, “but, security! Do we have to test everything every time? That would slow an urgent 0day release!”
Yeah, there’s some limits to what they could do while maintaining pace for the 0 day stuff…
Some input validations would be the most basic things they should have done years ago. I’m aware of the hashing mature vendors do of any content they download for updates or deployments. Signature checking as well, and that’s before the code is even inspected - why don’t they include their automated tests they obviously aren’t using in the update as a sanity check client-side? (I’m not aware of anyone doing this or even if it’s possible without the rest of the IDE, stack, I’m no dev)
