Who cares if it doesn't hurt revenue?

  I certainly don't want to claim everyone on Hacker News is a high powered CISO making EDR purchasing decisions for their Fortune 500 company or whatever, but I feel like there are enough people with actual influence who read this site that if I was a security company (or any tech company) I wouldn't want front page stories that make me look petty about getting rightly clowned on after a fuck-up of galactic proportions.

    I mean... is THIS going to be the thing to tip you over the edge? Not last month's shenanigans, but THIS?

      There is the difference that this mistake is much simpler. A lot of business people will understand that having a litigation team without even the most basic Streisand filter is a newbie mistake. How they should have/could have protected themselves against the big breakdown is a lot more complicated, even for tech people.

      Seriously. If the last 20 years of fuckery haven't been enough, nothing short of a nuclear holocaust will make people stop and reconsider.

      Also, the name "Crowdstrike" was already worse than the name "Clownstrike"
