CauseComputer crash caused by a faulty CrowdStrike driver update

On 19 July 2024, a faulty update to security software produced by CrowdStrike, an American cybersecurity company, caused innumerable computers and virtual machines running Microsoft Windows to crash. Businesses and governments around the globe were affected by what one expert called the "largest IT outage in history".[1]

Among the industries that were disrupted were airlines, airports, banks, hotels, hospitals, stock markets, and broadcasting; governmental services such as emergency numbers and websites were also affected. The error was discovered and a fix was made on the same day, but the outage continues to delay airline flights, cause problems in processing electronic payments, and disrupt emergency services.[2][3][4]

Background

Logo of CrowdStrike, as of 2024

CrowdStrike produces a suite of security software products that are designed to protect a company's computers from cyberattacks. The Falcon Sensor product installs a network sensor at the operating system level on individual computers to detect and prevent threats. Patches are routinely distributed by CrowdStrike to its clients to enable their computers to address new threats.[5]

On 18 July, before the faulty update, Microsoft's Azure cloud platform had an outage that blocked some companies' access to their storage and Microsoft 365 applications in Azure's Central United States region.[6] According to Microsoft, the two incidents are not related, but compounded problems for customers of these affected companies.[7]

On 19 July at 04:09 (UTC), Windows virtual machines on Azure began rebooting and crashing,[8] and at 06:48 Google Compute Engine also reported the problem. At 07:15, Google announced that the CrowdStrike update was at fault.[9]

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz confirmed that CrowdStrike's faulty driver update, not a cyberattack, caused the outage.[3][4]

Technical details

An update to a configuration file (here called a channel file) issued at 04:09 UTC on 19 July 2024 conflicted with the Windows sensor client, causing affected machines to enter the blue screen of death with the stop code PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.[10][11][12] This left machines stuck in a boot loop or in recovery mode.[13][14] The problem primarily affected systems running Windows 10 and Windows 11,[15] while hosts running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 were not affected.[12] As the impact was limited to Windows computers and servers that installed the CrowdStrike Falcon software, most personal computers were not affected.[16]

Remedy

Affected machines could be restored by booting into safe mode or the Windows Recovery Environment and deleting the %windir%\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\C-00000291*.sys files.[17][5][18] As this process must be done locally on each individual machine, it may take days for affected businesses to restore all systems.[19]

CrowdStrike reverted the content update at 05:27 UTC,[12] and devices booted after the revert are not affected.[10] At 09:45 UTC, CEO George Kurtz confirmed that the fix was deployed.[20][21]

Impact

Outages were experienced worldwide.[22][23][24] Since numerous corporate IT systems across the world use Windows and the CrowdStrike software, outages were reported across many business sectors.[25] CrowdStrike has over 24,000 customers.[26] The number of individual computers affected is hard to pinpoint, inasmuch as many of the customers are global corporations.[27] In 2021, it was estimated that around 47% of companies in the Fortune 500 list were customers of CrowdStrike.[28] On its website, CrowdStrike claims it has nearly 60% of Fortune 500 companies and more than half of the Fortune 1,000 among its clients.[29] China was largely unaffected by the outage due to its focus on self-sufficiency in high-tech.[30] Nations restricted from using the services of American high-tech companies due to international sanctions such as Russia and Iran reported no disruptions.[31][32] Globally 5,078 flights, 4.6% of those scheduled, were cancelled.[33][34]

Air transport

AirAsia passengers queueing at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Indonesia, during the outage. The airline's check-in system was impacted.[35]

In North America, a ground stop was issued by United, Delta and American Airlines. Flights in the air continued flying, but no new flights were to take off.[14][36] Allegiant Airlines were also grounded by the outage according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).[2][37] About 1,500 flights were cancelled in the United States due to the outage.[38] Montréal–Trudeau International Airport and Toronto Pearson International Airport were affected in Canada, and Porter Airlines cancelled all flights.[39] Vancouver International Airport was also reportedly affected in Canada, although it was unclear whether this was directly related to the global outages.[40]

In Europe, Prague Airport[41][42] in Czechia, Budapest Airport[43] in Hungary, Bratislava Airport[44] in Slovakia, and Schiphol Airport[45] in the Netherlands experienced issues. Planes were not allowed to land at Zurich Airport.[46] Near Brussels, Charleroi Airport's employees manually checked passengers in, but other software alleviated issues by 10:00 (UTC+2) and there were minimal delays.[47] ENAIRE's Aena, the Spanish national airport traffic control manager, made reference to an IT outage in their website and social media.[48] All Spanish airports reported disruptions.[49] Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport both also experienced problems related to check in and suspension of flights.[50] Poznań–Ławica Airport and Warsaw Chopin Airport experienced disruptions in passenger check-in systems, urging passengers to check flight statuses online. An emergency system was activated, but check-in processes were slower.[51] The Berlin Brandenburg Airport announced that since around 07:00 (UTC+2), operational processes were affected by "IT problems at an external provider", and that they planned to stop flights until 8 (UTC).[52][53] While passenger handling continued with some restrictions, there were delays and some flights had to be cancelled by the airlines.[54] Several airlines (Eurowings, Ryanair, Vueling and Turkish Airlines) in Hamburg Airport had to issue tickets by hand.[55] Croatian and Swedish air traffic control were also disrupted.[56][57]

Swiss International Air Lines had 30% of flights grounded.[58] Lufthansa in Germany experienced issues with the "profile and booking retrieval" features of their website.[59] Ryanair's booking and check-in services were unavailable and the airline was "forced to cancel a small number of flights", advising passengers to arrive at airports at least three hours before departure.[60][61] Wizz Air blamed the incident for its online services going offline.[62][63] Dutch airline KLM suspended most operations, announcing that flight handling is impossible with the issue,[46] and Transavia Airlines experienced issues.[45][64] Berlin Brandenburg Airport. Finnair reported that they are experiencing problems with sending emails and SMS messages to customers.[65] In Greece, citizens and tourists experienced significant delays at major airports, notably at Athens International Airport in Athens and at Heraklion International Airport in Heraklion. This disruption, occurring at the peak of the tourist season, resulted in chaotic scenes as passengers were forced to wait for hours for their flights. Contributing factors included severe staff shortages and newly implemented schedules.[66][67] In Heraklion, the airport faced additional challenges with eight flights being recorded as problematic. The airport's chief, George Pliakas, indicated that flights were being manually arranged to manage the disruption, but the influx of arriving flights added further strain to the system.[68][69]

Several UK airports experienced difficulties, including Edinburgh, UK whose departure boards froze,[70] and Gatwick Airport, where automatic barcode scanning stopped working and had to be checked manually.[46] Amadeus, which manages UK baggage at Heathrow, said they were affected by the IT outage.[71] Disruption to flights, particularly to and from the United Kingdom, was anticipated but currently minimal in the Isle of Man.[72]

Hong Kong International Airport experienced delays during check-in, primarily for passengers of the local budget carrier Hong Kong Express,[73] resorting to staff members using handwritten signs to direct passengers to different check-in counters. The Hong Kong Airport Authority activated the emergency response, after airline websites and automatic check-in malfunctioned. Local Airlines Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong Express and Hong Kong Airlines's booking systems were unavailable.[74]Some HKExpress flights on 20th July have to be cancelled.[75] Jeju Air[46] and Spring Japan[46] experienced issues. Jetstar Japan had to cancel many flights (mostly domestic flights).[38][76] Some of the self-check-in kiosks in Singapore Changi Airport were affected, delaying and forcing airlines to switch to manual check in, and Singapore Airlines and Scoot reported various levels of service difficulties throughout the day on 19 July.[77][78] Cebu Pacific and Philippines AirAsia flights were delayed.[79][80][81] Long queues formed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.[82]

In India, outages were being experienced with Air India, Indigo Airlines, Akasa Air, SpiceJet and Vistara. Handwritten boarding passes were being issued during the outage. The Ministry of Civil Aviation asked and ordered the airlines as well as the airports to be compassionate while providing food as well as seats if need be.[85][86][87][52] As of 18:14 IST (12:44 UTC), over 200 Indian flights were cancelled with the tally of Indigo alone being 192.[88] Only those airlines that had a heavy reliance on Microsoft Azure for all their services, from hosting websites and booking engines to revenue management systems and Departure Control Systems faced the impact.[89]

Christchurch Airport was also having problems in New Zealand.[90] Australian airlines Qantas, Virgin Australia and Jetstar were affected.[91][92] A Sydney Airport spokesperson said that the outage had impacted some airline operations and that "there may be some delays throughout the evening".[93] Melbourne Airport had also been affected, with website statements underlining the "global technology issue" as impacting check-in procedures, and advising passengers to consult with relative airlines.[23] Canberra Airport, Darwin Airport, Adelaide Airport, Perth Airport, Hobart Airport, Launceston Airport and Brisbane Airport were also affected.[41][94][95]

The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) said in a statement that only a few banks use CrowdStrike tools and many critical systems of most banks do not run on the cloud, hence they are not affected. India's largest bank State Bank of India has reported that none of its services were affected due to the outage.[102] According to RBI's assessment, only 10 banks and NBFCs had minor disruptions which have either been resolved or are being resolved. It has also added that the Indian banking systems are insulated from such outages and have only reported few minor disruptions.[103][104] However, NSE and BSE have said that they have not been impacted amid reports of disruptions.[104]
