The CrowdStrike IT outage is pretty grim but let's hope it's not as bad as the infamous Dyn DDoS attack, Facebook mega-crash, and Rogers network disaster
With millions of people around the world affected by the apparent bug in CrowdStrike's Falcon software—bringing down IT systems in media, hospitals, and airports around the world—there's a good chance it will go down in the annals of tech history as being the worst outage ever, putting it ahead of the likes of 2016 Dyn DDoS cyberattack, Facebook's server woes in 2021, and Canada's biggest IT failure ever in 2022.
