Which didn't work because the account was marked as fraudulent.
I got the crowdstrike email and made a joke on that eddit site in the \systemadmin about it. Not long after and before it blew up I was asked by BBC journalist in a pm to be interviewed by phone about my reaction and provide a copy to them.
Crazy shit
I never installed Crowdstrike so all I got was a lousy uninterrupted weekend.

Real talk, can this be a class action?
About the worthless UberEats voucher? Nah.

I think for legal reasons these corporations have to offer something so they can point to that when they are sued. If they simply stand pat, and offer nothing, it goes to show absolute contempt, this only shows almost absolute contempt, which in the end will be worth billions in damages.
God bless CrowdStrike for their thoughtfulness!
