Or, just don't use garbage like CrowdStrike.

None of my machines were affected. None of the machines at dozens of my friend's clients were affected.

The only people affected were those who:

  1. Use garbage like Crowdstrike

And

  1. Don't properly manage their environments with things like staged rollout/updates.

Given the purpose of Crowdshit, I have zero sympathy for these companies.

They don't.

SMB doesn't use it.

So Windows Defender, unless you are going to tell me they deactivate it too.
