Global Software Update Chaos

On Friday, a software update gone wrong all over world: grounded flights, affected financial firms and news outlets, stopped activities in hospitals, small businesses, and government offices.

The update, issued by Crowdstrike, a cyber-security firm, affected its customers who only used Microsoft Windows, which is the world’s most widely used operating system on personal computers. It paralyzed every sector into mayhem—stock markets, IT services, banking, airlines, media outlets, and healthcare facilities—in its disruption of computer networks worldwide.

Airlines in the United States experienced communication issues with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and subsequently requested a ground stop later in the night. Major airlines implemented a temporary suspension of worldwide operations during this period.

Airport screens across the world displayed the “Blue screen of death,” causing Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) to halt, and airport and airline systems stopped functioning.
