Global IT Outage Resolved After CrowdStrike Identifies Windows Update Defect. CrowdStrike has identified and fixed the global IT outage affecting banks, airlines, and other sectors, Sky News Reports. The company’s CEO, George Kurtz, confirmed the disruption was due to a "defect" in a "single content update for Windows hosts," not a cyberattack. ”Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted. This is not a security incident or cyberattack.” "The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed.” Microsoft also stated that the issue stemmed from a third-party software platform and a resolution for Windows devices is forthcoming. Meanwhile, impacted airlines are issuing handwritten tickets, and some airports are using whiteboards, instead of electronic screens for customer information.
