It occurred to us that CrowdStrike is an absolutely terrible name. It sounds like a terrorist attack. Of course, it felt like one on Friday.

When I first heard about what was going on, I assumed that "CrowdStrike" was not the name of the software/company, but rather some sort of advanced DDOS-like attack where they used systems they'd previously hacked and had them all do the same thing at once to another target.

As we've discovered, both can be true.
