What fraction of the reporting is "CrowdStrike" versus "CloudStrike"? The first reporting I heard was "CloudStrike", but the company appears to be "CrowdStrike"

  I did not see any reporting on "Cloudstrike". Either you're misremembering the happenings of Friday, or there was some sloppy reporting.

    It'll be interesting if Cloud vs Crowd emerges as a Mandela Effect. Other examples include memories of the respective title component of the Berenstain Bears children's books being spelled "Berenstein", the logo of clothing brand Fruit of the Loom featuring a cornucopia, Darth Vader telling Luke Skywalker, "Luke, I am your father" in the climax of The Empire Strikes Back (he actually says, "No, I am your father" in response to Skywalker's assertion that Vader killed his father), Mr. Monopoly wearing a monocle, and the existence of a 1990s movie titled Shazaam starring comedian Sinbad as a genie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory

    There are random news sites out there that have reported the name incorrectly. e.g. https://fortune.com/2024/07/19/cloudstrike-microsoft-massive-it-outage-not-cyberattack-security-incident-latest/ https://fortune.com/2024/07/19/cloudstrike-microsoft-massive... https://www.standard.net/news/business/2024/jul/23/lessons-learned-from-the-cloudstrike-outage/ https://www.standard.net/news/business/2024/jul/23/lessons-l... Looks like a minority, though it's concerning that Fortune reported it with an incorrect name.

  Seems to be far too many people not getting the name correct. It's "ClownStrike". ;)
