Crowd strike have update their Falcon security software, this has caused a problem for windows Machines having a “blue screen of death” effectively causing the computer to reboot and the service that the windows machine was running to shutdown.

It looks like Microsoft used Falcon as part of their security measures on their cloud Azure platform where millions of customers have servers running software from Airline booking systems, card payment systems, websites, till systems basically anything you can think of the chances are they may be using a windows server to run it.

companies will usually run multiple instances of the servers just in case one goes down, but the problem is falcon was bluescreening anything it was installed on making redundancy useless.
