Funfact, we actually opt in to the feature to stay a version behind on updates, specifically to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Turns out that is a fucking lie because we still got this update.

Any chance of suing them or something like that?

Would be nice to see some extra blowback from this too.

They pissed off enough of the powers that be (read: corporations) that I would be surprised if they made it through this intact. I wouldn't be surprised if they crashed and got acquired by one of the tech giants. Which I hope is the case, friendly reminder that crowdstrike was one of the key sources of all the russiagate bullshit.
