The technology glitch was caused by a faulty update from CrowdStrike, a U.S. cybersecurity technology company based in Texas, in a single content update for Windows hosts.
It resulted in Windows computers and tablets crashing and displaying a blue screen, known informally as the "Blue Screen of Death." Over half of Fortune 500 companies use CrowdStrike software, the firm said in a promotional video this year.
"The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed," George Kurtz, the president and CEO of CrowdStrike posted on X. "We refer customers to the support portal for the latest updates and will continue to provide complete and continuous updates on our website."
It's just a test a larger outage they've planned. But this one is making air travel zero fun.

Should probably lock down and make everyone wear a mask and get jabbed.
Maybe strictly mail in ballots too.
Thanks, CrowdStrike!

I work in major infrastructure. All our cameras and security systems are down today from this...
Good thing Cho Bai Den is going to build back better.
I'm hearing CrowdStrike is not a government entity. But your call to nationalize it is heard.
Fuck, am I the first one to see this?
They just worked with Hillary to set up Trump
Nothing to see here
When the rating of Dumbfuckery can't apply to someone THIS stupid. We have to invent a new description.
Time to buy more Alcoa shares, I see.
Low information voters heard from
Fixing Clerical errors today no doubt.
@HHusky leaned hard into Crowdstrike for their forensics work on their conclusion that the DNC server was hacked by Russians and not Seth Rich.
Said they were more trustworthy than DOJ forensics.
Worth the minute and a half listen. Remember it all ties to Ukraine. The DNC server was/is in Ukraine. Why are we sending billions to Ukraine?
For dEMocRaCY!!!
Left over from your Russia Russia, Hunter's laptop and your chicom crud delusions? Seems like you needed more than tinfoil.
Seems kind of ProjectQ25-ish.
Lab leak was Reynold wrap material for sure.
