🤖 CrowdStrike IT outage takes down banks, airlines (how podcasts reacted)
Businesses worldwide grappled with an ongoing major IT outage Friday, as financial services and doctors’ offices were disrupted, while some TV broadcasters went offline. Air travel has been hit particularly hard, with planes grounded, services delayed and airports issuing advice to passengers.
The outage came as cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike experienced a major disruption early Friday following an issue with a recent tech update.
CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz has since said that the company is “actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts,” stressing that Mac and Linux hosts are not affected.
