Unfortunately. But they *should* be sued into bankruptcy.

It was a stupid mistake--one a first-year CS student would make.

I'm of two minds about that. Yes, their f*ckup was egregious, and they did a lot of stuff really poorly that enabled a rookie error to take down so many computers.

My company's computers were affected, servers and laptops, and I personally had to fix a lot of them. I speak first-hand.

But OTOH, their product (Falcon) has been a tremendous boon to our security operations, and I'd hate to see it go under. There are competitors, but CrowdStrike has really served us well in terms of what they are supposed to provide.

So I'm hesitant to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

But on the OTHER other hand, our damage was relatively small. So I can be more sanguine than others.

P.S. I hate software license fine print.
