Windows PCs crashing worldwide due to CrowdStrike issue
(mashable.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Is it less expensive than ransomware though?
Yes
By a wide margin
Ransomware you have to pay $10,000 every few years. Crowdstrike you have to pay $1,000 per month. Same number of outages for both. /s
Add some extra zeroes to that ransomware figure...
