Flights have been canceled, banking halted, and commerce, healthcare, and travel delayed amid one of the most significant global IT outages ever. TV studios were even forced to pause broadcasting, The outage has to do with a “defect” in Cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike’s software, which has had the knock-on effect of causing the dreaded 'Blue Screen of Death' to appear on monitors across the globe. "This is not a security incident or cyberattack,” Crowdstrike said. “The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed.” However, it will take some time before the outage is resolved, causing chaos today, July 19, 2024. Crowdstrike blamed the issue on one of its updates for Windows. Shares in the company were down by more than 20% in unofficial trading in the U.S., amounting to an incredible $16 billion loss in value. Microsoft also suffered a drop in value in premarket trading, although by a more modest 2%. Meanwhile, the internet is of course having its fun with the outage, and the memes are already flooding in.
