Microsoft Halts Controversial Deal

Microsoft-Crowdstrike Deal Halted

Global Outage

The global Microsoft outage on July 2024, caused by a CrowdStrike update, has raised concerns about the reliability of the software. CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm, released an update that triggered a global outage of Microsoft systems, including Azure, Teams, and Outlook. The outage disrupted multiple sectors, including flights, supermarkets, and banking operations. Microsoft has since halted the distribution of the update and is working on a fix.
