The cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, which has been at the center of  false conspiracy theories since 2016, is once again in focus after a White House transcript published revealed President Donald Trump brought it up in  his July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Founded in 2011, CrowdStrike sells its "Falcon" cybersecurity software to big corporations and government  clients, including major global banks, healthcare and energy companies,  according to the company. Among its customers are Goldman Sachs, Amazon  Web Services, MIT and various US states and cities. CrowdStrike says  Falcon protects files saved in the Cloud.
In a call with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25,  2019, President Donald Trump tied together the Ukraine's purchase of  Javelin missiles with an investigation into his political rivals. While  the true nature of this phone call has yet to be determined, the  effectiveness of the weapon is an absolute certainty.  The Javelin’s  features—and Russia’s tank armies—made it a very desirable weapon for  Ukraine, a country that is suffering an undeclared war with Russia from  2014 to the present day.
In May 2018 Ukraine purchased 210 Javelin missiles and 37 launchers from the United States for an estimated $47 million.
