A faulty update on CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform caused a widespread outage last Friday, impacting businesses across various industries. While Microsoft and CrowdStrike have released solutions to address the issue, recovery efforts are ongoing, with some companies like Delta Airlines still struggling to fully recover. The outage, caused by a defect in a Falcon content update for Windows hosts, impacted 8.5 million PCs, but Mac and Linux systems were not affected. Both Microsoft and CrowdStrike have provided detailed instructions and guidance to assist users in restoring their systems.
