That update is so tone-deaf and half-assed. There's no apology.
If you go to the website, there's nothing on their front-page. The post on their blog (https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/statement-on-windows-sensor...) doesn't even link to the solution. There's no link to "Support Portal" anywhere to be seen on their front-page. So, you have to go digging to find the update.
And the "Fix" that they've "Deployed" requires someone to go to Every. Single. Machine. Companies with fleets of 50k machines are on this HN thread - how are they supposed to visit every machine?!?!
Any response they make in the middle of a global outage will be half-assed. They have all available resources figuring out what the hell just happened and how to fix it.
An apology this early is a lose-lose. If they do apologize they'll piss off people dealing with it and want a fix not an apology. If they do t apologize they're tone deaf and don't seem to care.
