Original Note:
The global IT outage was not caused by Microsoft, but by CrowdStrike, which issued a buggy kernel driver update. The BSOD only affected Windows machines running the CrowdStrike Falcon software. https://www.techarp.com/internet/microsoft-crowdstrike-it-outage/ https://www.wired.com/story/crowdstrike-outage-update-windows/ https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/our-statement-on-todays-outage/ https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/statement-on-falcon-content-update-for-windows-hosts/
