CrowdStrike error on Microsoft causes chaos across Israel

A worldwide system error in CrowdStrike’s cybersecurity software caused severe disruptions on Windows systems in Israel, affecting hospitals, mailrooms, ports, shopping centers, and airlines. The bug allegedly resulted from a recent system update that was inadequately checked. While many institutions have reverted to manual operations, the issue has led to chaos, with many businesses unable to provide services. The faulty update also impacted global companies who use Microsoft’s Windows operating system. The stock of CrowdStrike has decreased by 12% since reports of the error emerged.
