Largest IT Outage Causes Disruption Across Industries #

An IT outage, said to be the largest in history, has created widespread disruption around the world. Sectors such as transportation, emergency services, banking, healthcare, and education have been heavily affected. The root cause of the issue is a flawed software update for Microsoft Windows operating systems, which was distributed by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. Although a fix has been deployed, the process of getting systems back to normal is expected to be lengthy. Airlines, businesses, and individuals have faced canceled flights, delays, and a range of logistical challenges as a result of the outage.
