A faulty update from cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike caused widespread chaos on Friday, affecting millions of computers worldwide.

The crash, described as the largest of its kind, impacted airlines, banks, and healthcare systems across the globe.

Microsoft reported that 8.5 million devices were affected.

Flights were grounded, payment systems failed, and healthcare providers lost access to patient records.

Experts warn that full recovery could take weeks, as each affected device may need individual attention.

Crowdstrike's CEO, George Kurtz, apologized for the impact on customers.

The incident highlights the vulnerabilities of our increasingly digitalized society and raises questions about potential compensation claims from affected businesses and individuals.
