After various businesses across the world reported IT outages on Friday, which included seeing the 'Windows blue screen of death', CrowdStrike -- US-based American cybersecurity firm linked to a software update that caused the outage says that the issue has been isolated and a fix deployed.
George Kurtz, President and CEO of CrowdStrike said the cybersecurity company was working with customers on the issues faced by them while giving a reassurance that the issue was "not a security incident or cyberattack."
"CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted. This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, and isolated and a fix has been deployed.

CrowdStrike told customers early Friday that it was 'aware of reports of crashes' of its software on the Microsoft Windows operating systems, according to a company advisory as reported by CNN.
