Chris Johnson, director of compliance and security services at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Wheelhouse IT, said his MSP business manages around 4,000 Webroot endpoints. He said around a dozen clients were impacted in a "serious" way.
"Yesterday was crazy," Johnson said. "It was definitely crazy."
Johnson said he felt Webroot did a good job quickly communicating, taking responsibility and remediating the issue. He said it could happen to any vendor in the security space.
"We were quite honestly impressed," Johnson said. "This is a vendor that genuinely cares about their partners and is quick to respond."

I, too, am very favorably impressed with Webroot's handling of this issue. In fact, my confidence in Webroot is actually increased because of this incident.

Great article @
The key phrase is:
"Johnson said he felt Webroot did a good job quickly communicating, taking responsibility and remediating the issue. He said it could happen to any vendor in the security space."
Just what I have been saying, Webroot was quick. One thing we will never change are those who don't like a particular vendor, they make a mistake and immediately the doubters jump on the bandwagon but it can happen to any of them.
