As mentioned earlier, the global IT outage was reported early on Friday, July 19. After a few hours, George Kurtz, the CEO of the American cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, announced that the interruptions were due to "a defect found in a single content update of their software on Microsoft Windows operating systems." He emphatically clarified that this situation was not due to a security incident or a cyberattack.
Additionally, the CEO specified that this crisis was due to a specific issue with Falcon, one of the company's main software products, which only affected Microsoft Windows users, ruling out any damage to Mac or Linux operating systems. He also noted that their team was already working to restore the service as soon as possible and to ensure the security and stability of their clients.
To conclude, George Kurtz urged CrowdStrike customers to visit the company's official portal if they needed technical support, and he mentioned that only official channels would provide complete and continuous updates to navigate this crisis as quickly as possible.
