Global IT Outage: Travel, Banking, and Healthcare Disrupted!
Why did the outage occur?
Crowdstrike is well-known for creating antivirus software meant to stop hackers from causing exactly this kind of damage.
George Kurtz, the CEO of Crowdstrike, claims that a recent update flaw is the reason behind the problems, which are exclusive to Windows PCs and do not affect any other operating systems.
"The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed," he stated.
"This is not a security incident or cyber-attack."
The specific cause of the update's problems is unknown, but since one possible solution is to remove one file, it's plausible that a single rogue file is to blame for the chaos.
