    Overview:

    On July 19, 2024, a massive global IT outage disrupted businesses, airports, banks, and more, causing widespread chaos. The outage was linked to a routine software update from CrowdStrike. A leading cybersecurity company, which inadvertently caused Windows systems worldwide to crash.

    What Happened:

    The issue began with a defect in a content update for CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor software, designed to protect Windows devices from cyber threats. This defect led to the infamous “Blue Screen of Death” on numerous Windows machines, also effectively crippling systems across various sectors.

    Impact:

    • Airports and Airlines: Major airlines, including American Airlines, Delta, and United, experienced severe delays and cancellations as their systems went down. Airports worldwide saw long lines and manual check-ins.
    • Also Banks: Customers faced difficulties accessing their accounts, with major banks in Australia, New Zealand, and other regions reporting issues.
    • Retail: Stores like McDonald’s in Japan and Waitrose in the UK had to close or switch to cash-only transactions due to malfunctioning systems.
    • Healthcare: Hospitals and pharmacies also struggled to operate without access to their digital systems, impacting patient care.

    Resolution Efforts:

    The fix involves manually rebooting affected systems and applying a patch provided by CrowdStrike. This process is time-consuming and has also created a significant workload for IT departments globally.

    Public Reaction:
