I expect these clowns to lose most of their market share within two years and get sued to oblivion.
My firm bills by the hour and so far I think we are at 10+ billing hours per consultant wasting time with client tech support trying to get back on our VDIs. Nevermind how much time is being wasted doing the work through work arounds. My guess is that our firm alone will bill for about $100,000 extra this month while having accomplished less than normal. I am sure Crowdstrike's gift card will fix it though.
Fine. You want two?! Will that be enough??
They're backed by the US government. They have a backdoor into most endpoints on many international corporate computers. And CS is behodent to US laws for NSLs.
This is an incredible asset to the US intelligence community. They won't let CS go out of business.
