Thousands of Windows machines are experiencing a BSOD issue, impacting banks, airlines, TV broadcasters, supermarkets, and many more businesses worldwide.

Thousands of Windows machines are experiencing a Blue Screen of Death issue at boot today, impacting banks, airlines, TV broadcasters, supermarkets, and many more businesses worldwide. A faulty update from cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike is knocking affected PCs and servers offline, forcing them into a recovery boot loop so machines can’t start properly. Australian banks, airlines, and TV broadcasters first raised the alarm as thousands of machines started to go offline.

“We have widespread reports of BSODs on Windows hosts, occurring on multiple sensor versions,” says CrowdStrike in a support note issued at 1:20AM ET today. CrowdStrike has identified the issue and reverted the faulty update, but that doesn’t appear to help machines that have already been impacted.
