What caused the CrowdStrike outage? |
Last week's global tech outage has been traced back to a bug in U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike's quality control system, Bailey Schulz reports. |
The impact of the outage has been far-reaching, affecting roughly 8.5 million Windows devices and disrupting banks, emergency call centers and airlines. Fortune 500 companies – not including Microsoft – face an estimated $5.4 billion in losses from the outage, according to insurer Parametrix. Meanwhile, hackers have used the outage as an opportunity to target CrowdStrike customers. |
