Millions of people outside the IT industry are learning what CrowdStrike is today, and that’s a real bad thing. Meanwhile, Microsoft is also catching blame for global network outages, and between the two, it’s unclear as of Friday morning just who caused what.<\/p>\n

TV networks, 911 call centers, and even the Paris Olympics were affected. Banks and financial systems in India, South Africa, Thailand, and other countries fell as computers suddenly crashed.

The outages took down not only Starbucks mobile ordering<\/a>, but also a single motel in Laramie, Wyoming<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
