Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz said that the company “is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts.” This comes after millions of Windows users across the globe are experiencing the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error which resulted in computer systems to suddenly shut down or restart. Microsoft said that the error- which has impacted several companies, banks and government offices across the globe- is being caused due to a recent CrowdStrike ‘Falcon Sensor’ update.
