Software update crashes computers at airports, banks globally
UNITED STATES (WCBI) – A tech malfunction crippled airports, health services, banks, and government services around the world this morning.
The disruption appears to stem from a software update pushed by cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike.
It sells antivirus software to large corporations and government clients, including major global banks, healthcare, and energy companies.
Computers running Microsoft Windows, a Crowdstrike client, were crashing because of a defect in a software update.
The company has isolated the issue and deployed a fix.
Meanwhile, United, Delta, and American Airlines had flights grounded.
