General News

▤ Summary

Passengers seen waiting after a major disruption in Microsoft Corp.s cloud services caused widespread flight cancellations and delays at T3 IGI Airport in New Delhi, India, on July 19, 2024. Republican representatives on Monday called on CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz to testify in front of the House Committee on Homeland Security, days after the company issued a faulty software update that crashed millions of Microsoft Windows devices. The outage caused disruptions across "key functions" of the global economy, including banking, aviation, health care, emergency services and media, the lawmakers said. Thousands of flights in the U.S. have been delayed and canceled, and many health systems across the country had to reschedule appointments and nonemergent procedures. Green and Garbarino asked CrowdStrike to set up a hearing with the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection by Wednesday at the latest.
