CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz recently addressed the company’s downtime, assuring customers that it was not due to a security breach or cyberattack. 
Instead, the issue stemmed from a faulty content update affecting Windows hosts, while Mac and Linux systems remained unaffected.

The global outage, linked to CrowdStrike’s software, disrupted various critical services running on Windows, including emergency services, banking, air travel, and broadcasting. 
On July 18, Microsoft 365 reported issues preventing access to its apps and services, but by the next morning, it announced progress in restoring them.&nbsp; 
Meanwhile, the crypto community created new memecoins inspired by CrowdStrike and the infamous “Blue Screen of Death.” 
Despite a 118% surge in CrowdStrike’s stock over the past year, shares dropped 15% in premarket trading following the incident. Rival cybersecurity firms saw a rise in their stock prices as investors anticipated a potential shift in business preferences. 
Kurtz’s updates aimed to reassure customers and highlight the company’s efforts to fix the issue and prevent future occurrences.
