100% agree. As mentioned in another post, the acceptance of this joke award is completely tone deaf.

Hospitals, banks, airlines, governments, and of course various IT operations at companies that are forced to use this endpoint security crap and Windows were impacted. Many people suffered degraded quality of care at medical facilities. Surgeons losing access to critical imaging/labs during surgery. Probably many canceled and rescheduled surgeries as well.

People’s flights were delayed or canceled. Imagine having to take a last minute flight to visit a loved one on their death bed only to get canceled because ClownStrike shit and incompetent IT departments/CTOs fucked them over.

Many people/businesses unable to access critical banking services.

Then the amount of lost productivity for office workers. Many hours lost for IT folks, often even working into the weekends. Time lost to dealing with ClownStrike bullshit when that time could have been spent with their families and friends.

Fuck ClownStrike, George Kurtz, and this latest clown, Michael Sentonas
