There's plenty of short arsed blokes on the Secret Service team too but that wasn't mentioned; rather it just seem to be a typical bash women post.
).I heard government just use whatsapp, the CIA can probably read every message every MP ever sent as plain text.
No. Microsoft Windows is not the only OS running CrowdStrike. Actually all three Windows, MacOS and Linux hosts are running CrowdStrike.
A good use case for why backups are critical on that rare occassion they are needed
I've held CRWD for a while now. PE aside, I still think it has legs - least until the demands for compensation roll in.
Partially explained by the introduction of server core, which is now the default version.Just an observation but it is kind of interesting from a historical change point of view how much mission critical and core infrastructure is now on Windows based servers if today is anything to go by. Go back 15+ years ago in the SME space at least, Windows was very much the tertiary part of a companies infrastructure with a Sun (Oracle)/RS/AIX/HPUX etc. backend doing the heavy lifting in the main (and on prem). Of course really back in the day it'd be a VME/VMS and dumb terminals, but I digress (and also feel quite old
Even with the brunt of the work being done by real servers (tm), there is so much ancillary stuff being done by Windows now - think AD, DNS, DHCP... Even though your database is humming along happily thinking it's having a nice day off, your app servers can't establish connections to it because there's no DNS resolution...Just an observation but it is kind of interesting from a historical change point of view how much mission critical and core infrastructure is now on Windows based servers if today is anything to go by.

I know Red Hat (and it's successor flavours) and Ubuntu etc are a thing in Enterprise (my own company has a ton of them for different hardened tasks) but I guess I'm just surprised how many large/multinational companies are now Windows reliant.
Very true, I've been involved with a few ransomware incidents and as you say the actual real servers(tm)
have been unaffected, just the rest of the infrastructure has been compromised and laid to waste.
And the ******* thing about all this is that the advent of automation means smaller and smaller IT teams are looking after bigger and bigger estates.... then suddenly along comes something where the fix cannot be automated ....Very true, I've been involved with a few ransomware incidents and as you say the actual real servers(tm)
