A suspected technical issue at cybersecurity vendor CrowdStrike is causing mass IT outages across the world, disrupting critical sectors such as airlines, banks, media and retailing.  It was noted that the issue appears to concern an update to CrowdStrike's security platform Falcon Sensor, which is impacting Microsoft Windows operating systems.  Reports suggest the affected systems are struggling to boot correctly, causing a bluescreen error to appear.  The CEO at CrowdStrike said that the company is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts.  He emphasized the issue is not related to a cyber incident and has been identified, isolated, and fixed.
