Microsoft outage: Which industries were affected in global IT chaos?

Microsoft systems across the globe crashed on Friday resulting in a tech outage caused by a flaw in an update by cyber security firm CrowdStrike for its “Falcon Sensor” software. Several devices started displaying a blue screen, which is informally known as “Blue Screen of Death”, rendering the computers useless.

The global tech outage brought the world to a standstill affecting the operations of airports, airlines, banks, media outlets and health care among other industries.
