Microsoft widespread outages affecting users worldwide: Here's how you could be impacted

A global technology outage grounded flights, knocked banks offline and media outlets off air on Friday after a faulty software update disrupted companies and services around the world. Here's how you could be impacted.

Got this from a comment in another post: CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz was McAfee CTO in 2010 when they released faulty update that bricked many Windows XP worldwide under his watch. He seems to have a knack of bricking/crashing computers.

Yup back in 2010, I was working for McAfee technical support. An auto update being pushed to the Anti virus software running on end user computers literally failed to boot. Back those days, we were advised to execute few commands by booting the PC back in safe mode and that way it fixed the problem.
