Finitebanjo is right. Yes they are used to fight spam and bots but they way they do it us is picked intentionally to train ai.

Also from the Wikipedia article "Google profits from reCAPTCHA users as free workers to improve its AI research." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA
How do you do that?
Neither does window. A file deletion did not cause this. A human at Crowdstrike uploaded a bug to production. Bugs in production can happen on any OS, this is just a terrible, terrible look for Crowdstrike because they seriously messed up
Two quick points, given the massive impact of this eveny it is clear to say many critical systems run windows. Meaning them being windows doesn't make them any less "actual computers".
Also, the OS in this event is irrelevant. They could have botched an update to their Linux version and crashes all the Linux boxes leaving windows untouched. This was not a result of an issue of any OS but a bad update.
They absolutely gained unauthorized access to the data. Their access was not intended or sanctioned. If it was intended to be public and accessible like it was, this wouldn't be a story and they wouldn't have locked down the access.
They absolutely exploited unintended functionality. If this was intended, they wouldn't have added rate limiting and locked down the api after. It was clear to say this was certainly not an intended use of the api.
In a video game for example, if there is a an item that caused excessive lagging just by placing the item. Placing a lot of them with the intent to lag the game would be an exploit. They only used items sanctioned by the game, but for unintended reasons and they would likely be banned for exploitation.
They gained unauthorized access. From that guys definition that is a hack, no an exploit
Come on man, stop giving them good ideas!
Isreal is a bit busy at the moment. Would be cool to have a wholly home grown resurgence though!
