Despite the global disruption caused by a recent CrowdStrike update, which led to widespread outages and critical system crashes known as the ‘blue screen of death’ (BSOD), services in Mumbai have largely remained unaffected. The update, which has impacted Windows systems worldwide—including major airlines and sectors—has not disrupted key operations in Mumbai.
CrowdStrike`s recent update has caused major issues for Windows systems using its Falcon Sensor agent. Users worldwide, including in India and several other countries, experienced system crashes and the `blue screen of death` (BSOD). This update has led to widespread outages, impacting airlines like American Airlines, Frontier, Allegiant, Sun Country, and IndiGo. Companies like Dell Technologies have stated that these crashes were caused by a recent CrowdStrike update.
Railways, the civic body, and hospitals in the city remain unaffected.
