Huge cyber attack causes global chaos and crisis

In an unprecedented instance, an immense cyber attack spread in several countries, causing havoc to necessary services and functions. This catastrophe has greatly affected airports, airlines, governments, financial organizations, and the Media.

The root of the problem is still quite uncertain. However, the disruption followed Microsoft’s receipt of complaints that its 365 set of apps and services is flawed.

Some form of controversy has arisen, and scholars believe that it is a result of a software update of a popular cybersecurity firm known as CrowdStrike, which provides its tools to organizations across the globe.

The ripple impact has been enormous: users are claiming their devices with Windows operating systems have developed issues such as system failure and ”blue screen of death.” Flights have been cancelled, melee and financial markets affected, and even government operations and media and entertainment broadcasters have been affected.

However, officials have mentioned that there is no sign of cyberattacks, which means that one of the partners’ platforms probably has technical problems.

As technicians seek an averse solution to the problem, people in businesses, governments, and the general public wait for normalcy amid this unprecedented global technological breakthrough.
