October 20, 2024

A Microsoft global outage has wreaked havoc across America, locking countless individuals out of their bank accounts and even grounding flights. “Our services are still seeing continuous improvements while we continue to take mitigation actions,” Microsoft said on X this morning. CEO George Kurtz said on X: "CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. We refer customers to the support portal for the latest updates and will continue to provide complete and continuous updates on our website. 911 dispatchers were able to take calls but were writing down information on paper to share with first responders.
