    Crowdstrike as in the compant responsible for a global outage for machines using it including airports, hotels, fuelstations, banks, broadcasting, and manufacturing?

    The company that accidentally made every impacted machine boot-loop because they accidentally added a whole bunch of empty lines of code to production?

      Yes that one. Who are still regardless best in class for anti malware in businesses. I think what they did was dumb but businesses still trust them. They are one of the few AV vendors that back up their product with a hands on SOC.
