CrowdStrike’s recent outage, affecting 8.5 million Windows devices, has caused widespread disruptions across industries, particularly in air travel.

The company warns of hackers exploiting the situation by distributing malware disguised as a fix.

As CrowdStrike works to resolve the issue, its stock has plummeted, and the company faces scrutiny from lawmakers. The incident has severely impacted airlines, especially Delta, leading to thousands of flight cancellations and ongoing travel disruptions.
