CrowdStrike Bug Cripples Hundreds of US Hospitals: A Year Later

A year after a buggy CrowdStrike software update crashed millions of computers worldwide, a new study reveals its devastating impact on US hospitals. Researchers found at least 759 hospitals experienced network disruptions, with over 200 facing patient-impacting outages affecting records, scans, and even fetal monitoring. The researchers argue this constitutes a significant public health issue. CrowdStrike disputes the findings, calling the study "junk science", citing a concurrent Microsoft Azure outage.
