Cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike causes chaos across Australia with major outage affecting banks, media, and tech platforms. Windows users worldwide face Blue Screen of Death issue.

A cyber outage affecting Australian media, banks, and telecoms companies has thrown the country into chaos, with disruptions being linked to global cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. The widespread IT outage on Friday afternoon left workers across the country locked out of their computers. Airlines, banks, and broadcasters reported disruptions, citing technical issues, while businesses globally were impacted by the major outage according to reports from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike and NBC. The outage has caused a simultaneous blackout affecting banks, media, and tech platforms across Australia.

The situation escalated as devices at major establishments such as ABC, Foxtel, and the Commonwealth Bank were impacted by blue screens of death on Windows PCs around the country. The global CrowdStrike outage had a cascading effect, impacting Microsoft Windows users worldwide, with the Falcon cybersecurity platform error causing disruptions across multiple countries. CrowdStrike shares plunged in premarket trade as major airlines grounded flights and companies globally experienced IT outages.

In a bizarre turn of events, a software update from CrowdStrike managed to crash Windows 10 PCs, leading to the infamous Blue Screen of Death and rendering them unable to reboot. Companies worldwide struggled to cope with the aftermath, with airlines grounded and newsreaders scrambling to fill airtime amidst the chaos. The disruptions were so severe that major airlines, banks, and even the London Stock Exchange were affected, marking an unusually widespread cascade of failures across various sectors.

The cyber outage related to issues with global cybersecurity firms CrowdStrike and Microsoft impacted not only Australia but also media, retailers, banks, airlines, and telecoms companies worldwide. The incident highlights the critical role that cybersecurity plays in today's interconnected digital world, exposing vulnerabilities that can lead to widespread disruptions. Businesses and individuals are reminded of the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard against such massive outages in the future.
