Experts are reportedly calling it the "largest IT outage in history." And stock market darling CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD) is right at the center of the crisis.
CrowdStrike operates a cloud-based cybersecurity software platform. Being cloud-based, an update can come out at any time. The latest update had a "defect". And this defect caused Microsoft Windows operating systems to get stuck on a "blue screen of death," unable to function properly.
