Cute, but no.

I thnk that you vastly over estimate just how many computers and people were affected.

Microsoft estimates that 8.5 million computers were hit.

The computers hit were in the vast majority enterprise computers and mostly in the “Western World”.

In 2022, in millions, Lenovo shipped 68 million computers, HP 55.3, Dell 49.7, Apple 28.6, Asus 20.6, Acer 18.7, the rest around 70.1, that’s 286.2 million new computers shipped in 2022 alone.

In case you think that includes phones, nope, Samsung alone shipped 260.9 million mobile devices.

There are over 8 billion people on Earth. Most of them have never heard of CrowdStrike and never will.

I’m an ICT professional with 40 years experience and I’d never heard of them and I’d be surprised if they continue to exist for very much longer, all but guaranteeing that the name will become a footnote in history.
