CrowdStrike apologises for faulty software update that caused global IT outage
The world is slowly recovering from what some are calling the largest IT outage in history. It was caused by a defect in an update delivered for Microsoft Windows users by cyber security company CrowdStrike. Airlines, banks and hospitals and were among the worst-hit. CrowdStrike's CEO has apologised for the massive disruption, saying a fix has been issued but he's admitted it could take "some time" for all systems to be operating again.
