Cyber-security firm CrowdStrike’s software update causes major outage affecting businesses globally – not a cyber-security incident but a technical issue with the software of Microsoft&CrowdStrike. Many of the businesses are rebooting the system and will take a few days for things to be normal. The inconvenience caused by the loss of access to services for thousands of ppl serves as a reminder of our dependence on BigTechs in running our daily lives&businesses – pix downloaded
