A software update has resulted in worldwide IT chaos, causing cancelled flights, healthcare disruption and potential payroll problems. The firm responsible has apologised, but an industry expert warns it could take weeks to fix "blue screens of death" and endless loops.
Caused by security firm CrowdStrike that issued an update.
The outage is due to an update on anti-virus software from Crowdstrike. Yeah it’s easy to pin it on Microsoft and they’re not exempt from blame but av software runs with high privileges so it’s gonna have serious consequences if it hits the fan. As it has.
