A technical bug in the company Crowdstrike's test software is said to have caused the major IT crash that, among other things, affected the global aviation industry. The security company Crowdstrike writes in a report that it will improve its testing activities before future updates of the system.
The IT crash occurred last week and resulted in millions of computers with the Windows operating system crashing. This not only affected media companies, the banking system, and telecom companies, but also several airlines that were forced to keep their planes grounded.
