just seen the other article THG posted.
CrowdStrike's market cap plunges $12.5 billion in wake of global outage

Nope just things like teacher pensions funds losing their money. The top exec have their golden parachutes and they likely have 2 assistants to tell them what deleting a file means so top management is only symbolically to blame.
Everyone else in the company will point fingers at everyone else and they will agree nobody is to blame.
The only way is if there are enough lawsuits for damages that they have to cut payroll. Not likely they get the guys who really did it and hard to say if laying off their co employees would make these guys even think to do a better job next time.
What is so strange is almost every company I have worked for would have huge test labs that would simulate some of their major customers. They would test push updates and see if the simulated customers would still function.
Since this affected almost every machine it is almost like they didn't even test this.
