Crowdstrike: Global IT outage not cyberattack

CrowdStrike Inc chief executive officer and founder George Kurtz has confirmed that the current global information technology (IT) issue affecting many airlines, businesses and organisations is not a security incident or cyberattack.

In his LinkedIn post, he said the company is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts, but Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted.
