"A few people on twitter are saying this thing happened. We didn't actually talk to them, we didn't look at the emails and verify their authenticity ourselves, we just trusted some twitter screenshots and wrote a blogspam article stating it as truth.
We put absolutely no critical thought into whether this was a likely thing, and we completely ignored the many government and media reports that are credibly sourced which state that there are known phishing scams and other threat actors trying to capitalize on this incident.”
I highly doubt this is something that Crowdstrike actually did.
Edit: Amazingly they did, the article has been updated with a statement. Amazingly stupid all around.
