Millions of PCs and Laptops around the World Crashes and Creates Chaos
A suspicious ‘update’ from the Cybersecurity vendor, Crowdstrike has caused massive IT system failures all around the globe, with some calling this the largest IT outage in history
The problem is caused by a strange decision of someone at Cloudstrike, whose Cybersecurity software are used in the majority of the worlds largest corporations, to push an update late in the week. The update immediately caused almost all Windows PC systems with the Crowdstrike installed, to crash and display the dreaded Blue Screen of Doom (BSOD).
A temporary fix has been found to get the crashed PC systems to get back up again but it requires a manual rebooting and removing of files, which can be a hugely tedious and time consuming tasks for the IT departments in most organizations.
