Blue screens of death: A deep dive into the Microsoft CrowdStrike outage.

from Caveat · host N2K Networks

This week we are joined by Caleb Barlow to discuss the legal and policy implications of the CrowdStrike incident. Early last Friday, the Microsoft CrowdStrike outage began due to a faulty update to CrowdStrike's Falcon sensor software on Windows, leading to widespread "blue screens of death." The CrowdStrike IT outage has disrupted 8.5 million devices globally, causing major operational issues. In the US, Delta Air Lines canceled over 3,500 flights due to a crew tracking tool failure, offering waivers to affected customers. You can learn more about the outage here.
