CrowdStrike Friday issued a glitched update shortly after midnight Eastern time that caused computers around the world running Microsoft operating systems to display a “blue screen of death.”that caused Windows 10 systems to suddenly crash. This caused upsets in supply chains, grounded air traffic, and ruled automated teller machines unusable.
Starting soon after midnight New York time, the glitched update brought the “blue screen of death” to PCs across the world.Microsoft has issued advice to users after a massive outage linked to U.S. cybersecurity company Crowdstrike caused users' systems to suddenly crash. "We have been made aware of an issue impacting Virtual Machines running Windows Client and Windows Server, running the CrowdStrike Falcon agent, which may encounter a bug check and get stuck in a restarting state," an update posted on the Microsoft Azure website said on Friday morning."We approximate impact started around 19:00 UTC on the 18th of July."
I’m willing to bet that, until this morning, most people had never heard of CrowdStrike, an Austin-based cybersecurity firm. Only after the company pushed a bad update onto Windows computers, creating the biggest IT disaster in history, did most of us realize how much our lives depend on it. Or how difficult it might be to fix the problem.
