Global Tech Outage – Crowdstrike

Memo

Jul 19

There is an active CrowdStrike Falcon incident that is impacting Windows computers worldwide. The incident involves the release of a bad software update for the CrowdStrike Falcon software that is causing Windows computers to crash.

Please note that even if you do not use CrowdStrike directly, your firm may still be impacted indirectly. CrowdStrike is a widely used security application across many industries and platforms worldwide. According to the news, airline and banking systems have been impacted, and it continues to grow.

Please keep in mind that your trusted partners will be impacted as well, e.g., legal, accounting, and human resources. You may find that third-party applications that you frequently use are unavailable. You may also find that simply browsing certain websites or using certain mobile applications may be problematic as the tech industry continues to process this outage.

If you use CrowdStrike, our team has taken action to prevent the bad software update from being installed further. However, some computers may have received the update already and may be at risk of crashing.

We will continue to monitor the situation and update you accordingly.

Sincerely,

— Your HalcyonFT Team
