CrowdStrike
The private?? government company needs some explanation, private company? Guess we all know that this is not the case!!!! The fist section of the information needs to be rewritten.


 * what is CrowdStrike, and who is paying them, Follow the money, who is supporting them!
 * What right do private companies have, are they hackers, hacking for the government? A big question, so are they hackers or are they in for the money?

i will rewrite the first section, we now know what they do! We only need to know who is paying them! If the US is is founding them, it's just government! Only governments can do this kind of recherche, or they are just hackers?


 * At present, it looks a LOT like Shawn Henry & Dmitri Alperovitch (CrowdStrike executives), working for either the HRC campaign or DNC leadership were very likely to have been behind the Guccifer 2.0 operation.” --87.159.115.250 (talk) 17:54, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Since they are listed on the NASDAQ they are a private sector public company. One owner, telstra, is the largest Australian telecommunications company, but most telstra shareholders would be unaware that telstra owns shares in CrowdStrike. The number of security companies and agencies (some of them government) seem to nullify the savings made through digitization. Last year we had so much trouble with telstra's email that we nearly lost the way to live, and others had big trouble, too. We are having a global outage of massive proportions as we speak because someone couldn't leave things alone, doing an update that was obviously a dud. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:891D:387A:4981:FC9A (talk) 12:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

2021 COI edit requests
Hi, COI editor for CrowdStrike here again, with a few new requests.

In the infobox:
 * Adding Gregg Marston as a company founder, per the article body. ✅
 * Under "Products", replace "Threat intelligence" with "Security cloud". Here are a few sources on that term: SDX Central, CRN, Security Brief.✅
 * Updating revenue: ✅
 * Updating the number of employees to a 2020 figure:  ✅

In second sentence of lead, update  to.

In "History:
 * Updating "sister company" to "subsidiary" as a descriptor for CrowdStrike Services. ✅
 * Updating  to   per the source. In that same sentence, I think it may make sense to delete "to nation state actors" and "that are conducting economic espionage and IP theft" so the  flag can be removed. ✅
 * At end of first paragraph, adding:  ❌ I feel this is common practice in most businesses, particularly in tech, and it’s understood.  This takes the article which already has quite a bit of advertising language a step too close to being marked for improvement.


 * Add to "Accolades":  ❌ This is clearly advertising for the company, and likely to do more harm to the quality of the article than good. I would suggest to skip it.

Thank you for your help or feedback! Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:51, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Most of requests fulfilled. If you don’t agree with my edit, please feel free to ask for a new edit. Ferkjl (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! One question – did you deliberately omit this item from my original request?
 * In second sentence of lead, update  to.
 * Thanks again! Mary Gaulke (talk) 15:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)


 * No, my bad, I completely missed it. Had to read a bit about the definition, the citation, and the Crowdstrike portfolio to verify it, but I just added it.  Sorry for the delay. Ferkjl (talk) 16:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, this is absolutely true. They have pushed UNTESTED and BROKEN software to millions of corporate computers, shutting down many companies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.185.180.195 (talk) 14:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

19 July 2024 is now informally recognized as "International BSOD Day" in view of the significance of this event across the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crstwin (talk • contribs) 11:17, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Do you have a citation for that point about it being designated 'International BSOD Day'? 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 15:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Spyware
Can we add some details about how it is spyware? 2A02:3033:605:E23:8DE0:86BF:BADB:B286 (talk) 13:45, 19 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay, would you mind providing a source explaining those details? Can't really add those supposed details to the article if nobody knows what said details are, or if there aren't any sources pointing out said details. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 14:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 20 July 2024
Change the "2024 incident" section title to "2024 Incident", and unindent (?) it so that it is not under the "Acquisitions: 2020–2024" header on the sidebar. This incident seems to now be more notable than the company; the page detailing the incident is already much longer than the page for the company itself. 202.89.148.53 (talk) 00:21, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for suggesting an edit. But I don’t think your capitalization is right. Your second request is done. Hym3242 (talk) 00:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Prevented outages vs caused outages number
Does anyone how many outages has CrowdStrike has prevented to make the page more neutral? Has it ever prevented any outage? 90.166.193.231 (talk) 08:42, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

The point about "the root cause of this update and the vulnerability of IT systems in this world to an update by a single company needs to be put under focus" Kniranj (talk) 18:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 19:23, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I think a better way to state the issue would be "an untested update by an incompetent development team that was propagated to critical machines worldwide without benefit of independent review". Or something similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:40 (talk) 17:26, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
