All that we know about the Microsoft global outage
Friday saw a massive disruption in Microsoft cloud services causing extensive delays in flight operations across India including at the airports of Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Kolkata. The outage hurdled the booking and check-in services of almost every other airline including IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Airlines.
This outage was not limited to airlines but also affected several other businesses including banks, telecom companies, TV, and radio broadcasters. It all started with a pop-up of the blue screen of death error on Windows workstations globally. As we write, over 1400 flights across the world stand canceled.
Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz in a statement said a while back that his company is actively working with impacted customers due to a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. He said, “Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted. This is not a security incident or cyberattack."
He further noted that the issue has been identified, and isolated and a fix has been deployed. However, a confirmation of the resumption of all services is still awaited.
