[KARAH RUCKER]
CONGRESS IS CALLING ON CROWDSTRIKE’S C-E-O TO TESTIFY OVER LAST WEEK’S MASSIVE OUTAGE THAT GROUNDED MULTIPLE AIRLINES, KNOCKED BANKS AND HOSPITALS OFFLINE, AND IMPACTED MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD.
IMPACTS FROM THE SOFTWARE GLITCH ARE STILL BEING FELT — ESPECIALLY BY DELTA AIRLINES — SEEING HUNDREDS MORE FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS ON MONDAY —
DUE TO ITS “CREW-TRACKING SOFTWARE” STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT AFTER CROWDSTRIKE’S DISRUPTION.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS OF THE HOUSE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE SAY THEY WANT CEO GEORGE KURTZ TO EXPLAIN WHAT EXACTLY WENT WRONG.
SO FAR — ALL WE KNOW IS A GLITCHED UPDATE TO CROWDSTRIKE’S SECURITY SOFTWARE CAUSED COMPUTERS POWERED BY MICROSOFT WINDOWS TO CRASH.
MICROSOFT SAID ON SATURDAY ABOUT 8 POINT 5 MILLION DEVICES WERE AFFECTED.
HOUSE LEADERS WANT CROWDSTRIKE’S C-E-O TO SCHEDULE A HEARING BY *TOMORROW*.
