technology

A flawed software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has triggered a massive global IT outage, affecting key industries, including airlines, banks, media outlets, and supermarkets. The update caused millions of Microsoft Windows devices to crash and enter a boot loop, leading to grounded flights, disrupted financial services, and halted news broadcasts. Affected companies globally, from the US and EU to Asia and Australia, grappled with severe operational impacts. CrowdStrike has reverted to the old system and is attempting to fix the issue, but the fallout continues. The incident has highlighted the vulnerabilities in IT dependence and the need for robust contingency and recovery strategies [1][4][8].
