If you really want to know, you really have to get yourself a tinfoil hat and dive directly down the rabbit hole. The answers are there, along with plenty of distractions.

I work in IT and we use CS. Nothing to see here it was just a bad patch. With the amount of companies like us having to manually roll back the change if they can at all there is no way it was orchestrated. This may put them out of business and I doubt they did that on purpose lol.

The global computer outage affecting airports, banks and other businesses
One of my banks sent out an email saying they were good....now. Which I'm not sure if that was the best thing. Email makes it sound like they use CS, which I would think they would like to keep closer to the chest, instead of announcing it for easier confirmation.

It's an anti-virus agent called Falcon. The falcon agent gets updated periodically to keep up with the latest threats. You manage your fleet of endpoints through a cloud based portal. It appears the most recent update "bricked" all the windows systems. This could be workstation or servers. If I was still with my old company, i'd be having to fix this crap right now...but just chatting with my old co-worker and giving him $hit as he works with CS to roll back the agents to before last update. Can likely fix the servers by rolling it back to a previous snapshot in what ever back up system is used. However, most companies don't back up the average laptop for the end user.

The controversial American security firm CrowdStrike, which was called in to investigate the alleged Russian hack of DNC servers in 2016, had no proof that any emails from the system had been exfiltrated despite public assertions that this had occurred, according to the transcript of an interview released by the US Government a few days ago.
The transcript was from an interview conducted with CrowdStrike's president of services and chief security officer Shawn Henry by the US House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in December 2017, but only released to the US Special Counsel Robert Mueller who conducted a two-year inquiry into alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential poll.
While the exfiltration of emails from the DNC server has been accepted as a proven fact, Henry's answers to queries from committee members make it clear that this was definitely not the case.
In one typical exchange, Henry was asked, "What about the emails that everyone is so, you know, knowledgeable of? Were there also indicators that they were prepared but not evidence that they actually were exfiltrated?"
To this Henry responded, "There's not evidence that they were actually exfiltrated. There's circumstantial evidence - but no evidence that they were actually exfiltrated."
Henry told the panel that CrowdStrike had become a part of the investigation after a contractor working for the DNC contacted him. The FBI had notified the DNC that it had been hacked and that the intrusion was believed to have been carried out by a foreign power.
Asked why the FBI had not taken the lead in the investigation, Henry replied: "In these types of cases, my experience typically has been notification made to the victim about what has occurred in their environment, not that the FBI would typically come in. And they certainly wouldn't conduct a remediation."
Henry said CrowdStrike had begun its analysis of the hacked servers in May and the process had taken about four to six weeks, after which remediation commenced. The DNC was still vulnerable while the analysis was taking place.

Why would you think this was so bad for this to happen? Penalties in contracts?
What other competitors out there could take up the customers leaving? I'm assuming the migration wouldn't be that quick and simple for customers not already with a foot out the door to leave.
Though them not testing this out prior is intriguing. Seems to be a big enough update, not to do a better roll out.

You act like CPs is new to this generation or to this nation. CPs are part of the fabric of America going back way before any of us were a twinkle in our mamas eyes and will be way longer than we'll be remembered. Buckle up buttercup.

Lets just say we are already looking for a new vendor because of this. Any vendor that causes you to have significant downtime in production will get a thorough review and competitors will be looked at. There are going to be companies out there that could take days to recover fully. That doesnt fly. I can almost guarantee you they will see a major hit from this.

On the flip side of this, kaspersky labs (Russian cybersecurity firm A/V company) is closing down its US operations because well, it’s been ordered to get the phuck out.

All y'all who are talking about will it put them out of business, won't it put them out of business.
You're asking the wrong question.
The right question is "will it make business rethink holding their data in the cloud".
It was idiotic to move everything, even your backups and failovers, to a third party to hold 'in muh cloud'.
Consider: most big companies don't have 'server rooms' anymore.
I see a lot of them going back to that, at least for the purposes of failover. Cloud will never disappear, but this incident will tear the veil off it's position as be-all end-all of enterprise solutions.

This world wide issue that CS caused really isn’t related to the cloud. The agent that is locally installed on windows systems to protect the computer from malware caused this. This defective agent update was pushed out to all CS customers. Technically if your affected computers are VMs, (in the cloud) then this issue is easy to overcome by restoring to a previous backup if regular backups are being done.
