I would honestly think freezing airports, hospitals and other services for days would cause a lot of legal trouble.

At least that’s what would happen if an experienced hacker did the same thing.

    Plenty of people are talking about how they did get sued and it’s working itself out.

    If you believe that crowdstrike is a normal company doing security then the fact that most of their customers stuck with them after the event shows they’re doing something right.

    If you believe crowdstrike is a natsec cutout then it won’t matter if they get sued.

        I don’t feel one way or the other. Plenty of people instrumental to the company come from the natsec space though.

        That’s not in and of itself damning though. Infosec people are often cops or soldiers of one kind or another because that’s where the jobs are.

        I want to make the subtext text actually. When you speak with people on the internet in information security focused places you are most likely talking directly to cops and soldiers a good amount of the time and certainly in the presence of them.
