It has now been over a month since cybersecurity technology
company CrowdStrike rolled out a defective software update that
rendered over 8 million computers around the globe temporarily
inoperable. The outage affected airlines, government agencies,
banks and financial services companies, hospitals, manufacturers,
retail stores, and broadcasting companies, among many others. While
some computer systems were able to be restored in a relatively
short time, the fallout from the CrowdStrike outage is ongoing.
