Microsoft's CrowdStrike leaves business black and blue in India

A global technology outage caused flight cancellations and disrupted operations at hospitals, banks, and offices across India. The outage was triggered by an erroneous update from US-based endpoint security provider, CrowdStrike, which was pushed onto Microsoft devices. This led to chaos and forced manual processes in various sectors. IndiGo, one of India's major airlines, reported severe disruption to flight operations, while hospitals like Max Healthcare had to switch to manual processes for patient care. The outage highlighted the need for businesses to have resilient infrastructure and multiple fail-safes in place. The incident also raised concerns about the dependence on a few global technology providers.
