It is considered to be one of the biggest IT crashes in history affecting thousands of people around the world, caused by a security update from the American brand Crowdstrike, a Microsoft supplier and which caused problems for Windows users.
This Friday, thousands of workers around the world were unable to log in to their Windows accounts, affecting companies in all sectors, from telecommunications, transportation, medical services, banks and others, who had their services interrupted due to this failure. On the other hand, the airlines were the most affected and thousands of their passengers were stuck at airports due to delayed and suspended flights due to lack of access to systems. It is said that the computer problems caused by this blackout mainly affected passenger information and billing systems.
Microsoft holds Crowdstrike fully responsible for the error, to which the head of the American cybersecurity company responded that The error has already been identified and is being corrected.
According to George Kurtz, CEO of Crowdstrike, this is not a security incident or a cyberattack, but rather, a problem with the program update that directly affected Windows users.
How long will the computer services outage last?
According to CNN: “Microsoft said that the “underlying cause” of the outage “has been addressed,” adding that the residual impact still affects some services. “We are carrying out additional mitigations to provide relief,” the technology company said in a post on X. Some services have been restored, but others are still dealing with interruptions.”
Right now, people around the world are still standing in long lines trying to board their flights. The computer failure has caused the cancellation of 105 flights and counting.
