CrowdStrike Blames Faulty Update for Friday's Global Windows Outage, Affecting 8.5 Million Devices
Jul 24, 2024, 10:44 AM
CrowdStrike has attributed a massive global outage affecting approximately 8.5 million Windows devices to a faulty update in its Falcon cybersecurity platform. The issue, which occurred last week on Friday, was caused by a bug in the quality control process that allowed flawed data to be distributed to customers. The flawed Rapid Response Content update led to widespread system crashes, impacting various sectors including aviation, banking, and healthcare. Millions of devices running Falcon Sensor 7.11+ were affected. CrowdStrike has since published a detailed post-incident review and is implementing improvements to its error handling and software rollout processes to prevent future occurrences.
