Ongoing Critical Security Lapses: CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and SolarWinds Exposed Insecure Servers and Subdomains.
In this alarming revelation, our research demonstrates that CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and SolarWinds—three giants of the cybersecurity and IT world—are operating with glaring vulnerabilities.
Despite Friday’s botched updates from CrowdStrike that caused global IT disruptions, and following high-profile breaches like the SolarWinds Orion hack and Microsoft‘s cyberattacks, these three companies unbelievably maintain insecure subdomains and DNS servers.
CrowdStrike, a company entrusted with protecting some of the most sensitive information, is operating under the pretence of robust security. However, their neglected subdomains and insecure DNS servers paint a different picture. CrowdStrike saw $billions wiped off their shares on Friday with possibly more devaluation and more impact to their clients to come.
The negligence is not only a breach of trust but also a violation of privacy and security regulations, no matter how much CrowdStrike‘s CEO puts his hand up.
