Which didn't work because the account was marked as fraudulent.

I got the crowdstrike email and made a joke on that eddit site in the \systemadmin about it. Not long after and before it blew up I was asked by BBC journalist in a pm to be interviewed by phone about my reaction and provide a copy to them.

Crazy shit

I never installed Crowdstrike so all I got was a lousy uninterrupted weekend.

What do those of us who fixed it without help get?

Real talk, can this be a class action?

About the worthless UberEats voucher? Nah.

About the worthless kernel-level code and non-existent QA costing customers serious hours of labor? Now we're talking. Where do I sign?

Does the EULA say something about warranty or liability?
I'm curious if it can be challenged during a trial.

God bless CrowdStrike for their thoughtfulness!
