And cheaper ones are being kneecapped by the government because they want to keep supporting the incumbents

That sounds like a lawyers dream… “can’t provide it if it doesn’t exist” … now granted, if they got a subpoena they’d have to save it going forward, but before then, if their not bound by something that forces data retention, the less random data laying around the better.

Incidentally CrowdStrike has a Linux agent and my previous company was pushing us to install it to check another box on their Cyberliability insurance form. So this could just as easy happen there too.

We had a bad CrowdStrike update years ago where their network scanning portion couldn’t handle a load of DNS queries on start up. When asked how we could switch to manual updates we were told that wasn’t possible. So we had to black hole the update endpoint via our firewall, which luckily was separate from their telemetry endpoint. When we were ready to update, we’d have FW rules allowing groups to update in batches. They since changed that but a lot of companies just hand control over to them. They have both a file system and network shim so it can basically intercept **everything **

lol it’s not daily. Look up Claritin-D 24 hour. The way it calculates out you can’t get a 31st pill. They’re sold in 5, 10 or 15 packs. And 30x the amount in each pill is the monthly limit.

To add to that about 10-15 years ago it became more common knowledge so laws were enacted to limit it since it was OTC. I was pissed at the time because the calculations didn’t account for 31 day months, so I’d have to go a day without it because of some meth makers.
