A bug in CrowdStrike security software has caused global system outages, affecting industries such as airlines, train companies, and emergency services. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, stating that virtual machines running Windows with the CrowdStrike Falcon agent may encounter the blue screen of death (BSOD) and get stuck in a restarting loop. CrowdStrike has identified and deployed a fix for the issue, but major organizations like Sky News and KLM have experienced outages, with some still working to restore services. CrowdStrike assures that this is not a security incident or cyberattack, but rather a technical fault with a content update for Windows hosts.
