Crowdstrike Tech Outage

CrowdStrike's legal troubles from last month's massive global computer outage deepened on Monday, as the cybersecurity company was sued by air travellers whose flights were delayed or cancelled.

Malaysia's digital minister, Gobind Singh Deo, has asked Microsoft and CrowdStrike to consider compensating companies that suffered losses during last week's global tech outage, Reuters reported.

CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity company that caused a global computer outage last week, on Wednesday said that the breakdown stemmed from a flaw in its test software.

Microsoft has released a USB recovery tool to repair the PCs and other machines impacted by the infamous CrowdStrike update, the company announced in a blog post. A bootable USB drive can be created using which IT admins can expedite the repair process and get disrupted devices back on track.

Microsoft, the US-based tech giant, estimated that 8.5 million computers worldwide were affected due to the outage. The tech glitch happened on July 19 after Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity software company, rolled out its routine update.

Security experts said CrowdStrike's routine update of its widely used cybersecurity software, which caused clients' computer systems to crash globally on Friday, apparently did not undergo adequate quality checks before it was deployed.
