Good. For their utter incompetence and willful negligence the company should be forced into bankruptcy.

Hell yeah! And the people who rely on their software to detect intrusions - we don't care!

They have liability and it should be somehow handled (I don't know how, I am not a lawyer/finance guy) but without losing sight of what CS provides to a company.

Crowdstrike isn't the only one of its kind. If they fail from lawsuits, others will take their place.

They can replace with an alternative. Crowdstrike was installed via an automated manner at any organisation which has the scale to merit it (right?), therefore replacing it with a competitor should be easy.

Zero quality controls, leading to them releasing kernel crashing updates for RHEL and then Windows in the span of a few months? Nah fuck 'em. Such negligence doesn't deserve to be in business. And if they're that negligent with quality, how would anyone trust them that the software actually does what it should?

If company owns profits, they own the liability.
