The global computer outage affecting airports, banks and other businesses on Friday appears to stem at least partly from a software update issued by major US cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, experts told CNN.
CrowdStrike told customers early Friday that the outages were caused by “a defect found in a single content update of its software on Microsoft Windows operating systems, according to a post on X from CEO George Kurtz.
But CrowdStrike is perhaps best known for investigating the Russian hack of Democratic National Committee computers during the 2016 U.S. election. It has been at the center of false conspiracy theories since 2016, most notably after a White House transcript revealed former U.S. president Donald Trump mentioned Crowdstrike in his July 2016 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that led to his first impeachment.
