The major technical failure that occurred on Friday caused travel chaos and significant disruptions in banking and healthcare services around the world. 🌍✈️

This massive outage resulted from a faulty update by Crowdstrike, which led to blue screen errors on Microsoft Windows computers. Millions of devices were affected, causing long queues, delays, and cancellations at airports. Crowdstrike acknowledged the issue and stated that it is working to rectify the situation. 💻🔧

Crowdstrike's Response

Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz stated that the problems only affected Windows PCs and were due to a bug in a recent update. "This is not a security incident or cyber-attack," he clarified. The company released a fix, but it will take time for all affected devices to be fully restored. ⏳

Global Effects

The outage had profound effects, particularly on airlines and healthcare services. In the US, Delta and United Airlines were the most affected. Healthcare services in the UK, Israel, and Germany also experienced significant disruptions. This incident highlighted once again how fragile global computer networks can be due to a single glitch. 🌐

Impact on Real-Time Advertising Campaigns

The Crowdstrike crash also impacted real-time advertising campaigns of major brands such as Decathlon, Kitkat, Okey, and Vicks, leading to humorous real-time campaigns mocking Microsoft. 🌬️
