Pretty soon we are gonna have to start deciding if it’s safer for enterprise computers to run without AV or AMP.

Best I can do is an xz vuln where half the Linux servers go down for maintenance.

Do we actually know? We might know that Crowdstrike was the cause but we don’t actually know what went wrong and how it happened. It is an unfree proprietary closed source software, we just have to take their word for it, which for all purposes is PR in line with the fact that it is coming from a profit-driven organisation.
