All the CrowdStrike companies on earth minus the 500 biggest (American) ones? I have a hard time believing it's as insignificant as you assume. I guess we'll see...

It's a variation on the old saw of "how much is the difference between a million and a billion? About a billion". Once numbers become so big, it's hard to grasp the relative sizes. That said, I'm also interested in a more comprehensive breakdown. Seeing who are impacted, how much and where.

100% correct. I wasn't implying that I knew the figures just that the size of the Fortune 500 is used as an economic index for this reason.
