On Friday morning, a global technical failure of Windows-based equipment began, which affected telecom operators, banks and airlines around the world. According to the Verge, the cause of the widespread outages lies in a faulty update from cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike, which disconnects computers and servers from the network, forcing them to go into a recovery cycle, which prevents equipment from starting the system properly.
