"Cybersecurity" CrowdStrike     | |
|---|---|
| Cyber-"security" company that was main technical enabler of false Russiagate allegations. |
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is an American cybersecurity technology company based in Austin, Texas. CrowdStrike provides cloud workload and endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response services.
Activities
CrowdStrike has been involved in investigations of several high-profile cyberattacks, including the 2014 Sony Pictures hack, the 2015–16 cyber attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and the 2016 email leak involving the DNC.[1]
Crowdstrike was one of the main technical enablers of Russiagate, being behind the technical part of the - false - allegation that Russia hacked the DNC. Kash Patel, an investigator on the House Intelligence Committee, pointed out that "For some reason, for the only time in FBI history that I can think of, they allowed an outside non-government entity to referee. That is, to go in and seize the servers of a target of an investigation and let a third party, CrowdStrike, referee what the FBI could and could not have access to."[2] CrowdStrike never completed a final report and only turned over three redacted drafts to the government. Then FBI Director James Comey admitted in congressional testimony that he chose not to take control of the DNC’s "hacked" computers, and did not dispatch FBI computer experts to inspect them, but had trouble explaining why.[3]
