Planes have been grounded as several airports are hit by a global IT outage, with Windows PCs shutting down and broadcasters and businesses also taken offline.
Caused by security firm CrowdStrike that issued an update.
The outage is due to an update on anti-virus software from Crowdstrike. Yeah it’s easy to pin it on Microsoft and they’re not exempt from blame but av software runs with high privileges so it’s gonna have serious consequences if it hits the fan. As it has.
