- A global Microsoft Windows outage, caused by a CrowdStrike software update, has disrupted airlines, banking services, and 911 lines, leading to grounded flights and long queues.
- The issue resulted in many systems experiencing the “Blue Screen of Death” (BSOD), affecting major carriers and airports worldwide, and also impacted the London Stock Exchange and Australian banking systems.
- CrowdStrike has identified and isolated the defect, deploying a fix, but recovery is expected to be slow due to the need for manual intervention on affected devices.

This software isnt for Linux.Dammit, it is…It is. It has linux AV available, but 99% of its install base is going to be windows.
Avoid using it for Linux that is for sure after today! If this will happen to all linux device, there is no working internet anymore.
