A Security tool wreaks havoc globally

There's been speculation about CrowdStrike's liability here. There's info about that in Wikipedia now.

"The terms for CrowdStrike's Falcon software limits liability to 'fees paid',[59] so the maximum compensation an affected company could recover were the fees that the company has paid to CrowdStrike.[60]"

It's fairly common for liability to be capped at the contract rate or some small multiplier of it.
