- CS is contractor for FBI and DHS and likely other agencies too
- CS has connections to HRC and Russiagate hoax
- CS involved in fake indictment efforts targeting trump
- The July 13 events seem worse than incompetence or negligence. House investigations are being actively blocked by government officials.
- CS "update" occurs the day after the House investigation begins.

Any CS admin will tell you that you can choose NOT to opt-in to auto-updates of the CS falcon agent software. Most large organizations have change management boards that approve these types of software updates and it can take weeks of testing before new versions are rolled out org wide.
So how the hell did this outage happen? It happened because it wasn't the result of a software update. It was a CONFIGURATION update that was pushed out that didn't have the same quality assurance testing or roll out process that the agent software update typically has. In fact, there is no way (as of now) to turn off automatic configuration updates.
That means that even the even most careful organizations (think govt and Fortune 500) who have falcon set to NOT auto-update got screwed in this outage.
I see a parallel of incompetence between the cause of the CS outage and what happened in Butler PA last Saturday. You can read into that statement however you want.
It is a convenient event that gives them plausible deniability for any server being offline for 12-24 hours during a house oversight committee investigation
