Do you seriously believe that all CrowdStrike on Windows customers were at such imminent risk of ransomware that one-two hours to run this on one internal setup and catch the critical error they released would have been dangerous?

This is a ludicrous position, and has been proven obviously false by the proceedings: all systems that were crashed by this critical failure were not, in fact, attacked with ransomware once the CS agent was un-installed (at great pain).



I'd challenge you to be a CISO :)

You don't want to be in a situation where you're taken hostage and asked hundred mills ransomeware just because you're too slow to mitigate the situation.
