According to reports, the disruptions were caused by an update to a product from infosec vendor CrowdStrike. Several computers running Windows were reported to have been bricked, leaving users stranded at the dreaded BSoD screen. It appears that the update caused a critical system error, rendering the computers unusable.To resolve the issue, users are advised to boot their systems into Safe Mode and rename the CrowdStrike folder. However, this solution has not been universally successful, leaving many users still struggling to restore their systems.
The global outage has had a significant impact on a wide range of organizations.

A global cyberattack appears to be underway, but the extent of the disruption and the perpetrators behind it remain unknown.
