    … But it’s not malware like Solar winds became. It was just a botched update.

    I hope they learn from this and implement update stages or groups so you don’t blow away an entire org again.

      Goes into the kernel
      Gives remote absolute view and control of the machine
      Removes user’s rights
      Is intended to allow the employer class control the employee class

      Sounds like malware to me!

          I still have human rights, as well as rights to eg.: privacy. Also it’s not like they put “we use CrowdStrike” in their job offerings you know, so you saying to just “work elsewhere” reads whiny. And petty.

      Any third party remotely deploying kernel-level spyware is malware. We as an industry shouldn’t accept this kind of behavior.
