2024 CrowdStrike incident
Multiple blue screens of death caused by a faulty software update on airport luggage conveyor belts at LaGuardia Airport, New York City
Date19 July 2024; 3 months ago (2024-07-19)
LocationWorldwide
Also known asY2K24
TypeIT outage
CauseComputer crashes caused by a faulty CrowdStrike configuration file update
MotiveErroneous cybersecurity software update, not a cyberattack
TargetUnintentional crashing of ~8.5 million Microsoft Windows operating systems worldwide
OutcomeGlobal disruption of critical services in the largest outage in the history of information technology

On 19 July 2024, American cybersecurity company CrowdStrike distributed a faulty update to its security software that caused an estimated 8.5 million computers running Microsoft Windows to crash and left them unable to properly restart.[1] This caused what has been called the largest outage in the history of information technology[2] and "historic in scale".[3]

The outage disrupted businesses and governments around the world. Affected industries included airlines, airports, banks, hotels, hospitals, manufacturing, stock markets, broadcasting, and more. Governmental services, such as emergency services and websites, were also heavily affected.[4][5] The worldwide financial damage has been estimated to range in the billions of dollars.[6][7]

Within hours, the error was discovered and a fix was released,[8] but because many affected computers had to be fixed by hand,[9] outages lingered on many services.[10][11]

Background

CrowdStrike produces a suite of security software products for businesses, designed to protect computers from cyberattacks. The Falcon Sensor product, CrowdStrike's vulnerability scanner, installs an endpoint sensor at the operating system kernel level on individual computers to detect and prevent threats.[12] Patches are routinely distributed by CrowdStrike to its clients to enable their computers to address new threats.[13]

Outage

On 19 July at 04:09 UTC, CrowdStrike distributed a configuration update for its Falcon driver software for Windows PCs and servers. The update either put machines into a boot loop or a moot recovery mode.[14][15]

Almost immediately, Windows virtual machines on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform began rebooting and crashing.[16] At 06:48 UTC, Google Compute Engine also reported the problem. The problem affected only certain Windows computers and servers with the CrowdStrike Falcon software.[17] The problem primarily affected systems running Windows 10 and Windows 11,[14] but systems running Windows 7 and Windows 8 were also affected.[18][non-primary source needed][failed verification] Computers running macOS and Linux were unaffected, as were most personal Windows PCs.[17]

CrowdStrike reverted the content update at 05:27 UTC,[19] and devices booted after the revert were not affected.[20]

At 07:15 UTC, Google said that the CrowdStrike update was at fault.[21] Within hours, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz confirmed that CrowdStrike's faulty kernel configuration file update had caused the problem.[9][8] At 09:45 UTC, Kurtz confirmed that the fix was deployed.[22][23] Kurtz in a post on X confirmed that the problem was not the result of a cyberattack or related to a cyberattack.[9][24]

The day before the faulty update, the Azure platform had an outage that blocked some companies' access to their storage and to Microsoft 365 applications in Azure's Central United States region.[25] Microsoft said the 18 July incident was unrelated to the CrowdStrike problem, but that the two incidents compounded problems for these customers.[26]

Cause

An update to a configuration file which was responsible for screening named pipes, Channel File 291, caused a logic error with the Windows sensor client,[24] causing affected machines to enter the blue screen of death with the stop code PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, indicating an error caused by a page fault.[19][20][27]

This problem was exacerbated on devices with Windows' BitLocker disk encryption enabled, as corporations often do to increase security, because fixing the problem could require a recovery key stored on a server that itself had crashed.[28][29]

Experts speculate that the update was not put through routine patch management procedures (testing the update in a sandbox) to verify there were no issues.[30]

Remedy

Affected machines could be restored by booting into safe mode or the Windows Recovery Environment and deleting any .sys file beginning with C-00000291- and with timestamp 0409 UTC in the %windir%\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\ directory.[31] As this process must be done locally on each individual machine, it was "expected to take days" for affected businesses to restore all systems.[32] Further, technical staff will have to reboot the affected computers individually with manual intervention on each system, which could be a "monumental task".[33][34][35]

Some Microsoft Azure customers discovered that they could fix the problem by rebooting affected virtual machines up to 15 times, ideally while connected to Ethernet,[36] because there was a race condition where the CrowdStrike software could update the affected Channel File before the device crashes.[37][failed verification] Microsoft has also recommended restoring a backup from before July 18 to fix the issue.[38]

Long-term measures

The outage raised questions about oligopoly and centralization in the information technology sector.[39][40] The majority of the world's computers use Microsoft Windows, creating a monoculture that reduces resiliency.[41][40] Ciaran Martin said that "This is a very, very uncomfortable illustration of the fragility of the world's core internet infrastructure".[41] Critical infrastructure expert Gregory Falco commented "Cybersecurity providers are part of this homogenous backbone of modern systems and are so core to how we operate that a glitch in their operations will have similar impacts to failures in systems that are household names".[42] Security experts advocated more redundancy, to avoid single points of failure,[43] wider use of decentralized and heterogenous federated systems,[40] and public anger at the failure of political leaders to regulate for diversity and competition.[41] Mandating disclosure of breaches and vulnerabilities has also been suggested.[44] In an interview with Wired, cybersecurity consultant Jake Williams said that this outage has "shown why pushing updates without IT intervention is unsustainable," and that "people may now demand changes in this operating model."[45]

Impact

Outages were experienced worldwide,[46][47][48] reflecting the wide use of Microsoft Windows and CrowdStrike software by global corporations in numerous business sectors.[49] At the time of the incident, CrowdStrike said it had more than 24,000 customers,[50] including nearly 60% of Fortune 500 companies and more than half of the Fortune 1,000.[51][52] Microsoft estimates that 8.5 million devices were affected by the update.[53]

Widespread outages were immediately reported across multiple countries, with major global disturbances experienced by the general public sweeping from east to west from time zone to time zone. At 04:09 UTC on 19 July, the time when the faulty update was issued, it was the middle of the business day of Oceania and Asia, the early morning hours in Europe, and midnight in much of the Americas.

Some countries were less affected. China, which has striven toward self-sufficiency in IT, saw little impact to key services such as airlines and banks, although foreign businesses and luxury hotels in the country were affected.[54] Russia and Iran—both restricted by international sanctions from using the services of American high-tech companies—reported no disruptions.[55][56]

Despite the losses companies have suffered, CrowdStrike was said to be only minimally liable for the damage or lost revenue caused.[57] The terms for CrowdStrike's Falcon software limits liability to 'fees paid',[58] so the maximum compensation an affected company could recover were the fees that the company has paid to CrowdStrike.[59]

Air transportation

Globally 5,078 air flights, 4.6% of those scheduled that day, were cancelled.[60][61]

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.[15][62] Allegiant Air were also grounded by the outage according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).[5][63] About 1,500 flights were cancelled in the United States on 19 July due to the outage.[64] While American Airlines and United recovered relatively quickly, Delta Air Lines experienced an operational meltdown which continued throughout the weekend.[65]

Delta Air Lines was by far the hardest hit of the U.S. major airlines, with over 1,200 flights cancelled on 19 July alone.[66] Thousands of stranded travelers were forced to spend the night sleeping on the floor in the terminals at Delta's largest hub, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (which is also the busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic).[66] Metro Atlanta hotels and rental car companies were overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis, leaving travelers no other option but to stay in the airport.[67] One traveler attempting to return home to Tampa (after giving up on reaching California) reported that Amtrak was charging $1,000 for a one-way train ticket from Atlanta to Tampa.[68] Thus, passengers were seen trying to sleep in the airport on hard linoleum floors without blankets or food.[66] On 20 July, Delta cancelled over 1,400 flights.[69] By the morning of 21 July, Delta had already cancelled over 400 flights and Delta flights departing for Hartsfield–Jackson were still suffering from average delays around four hours.[69] With some passengers still stuck in Hartsfield–Jackson after apparently sleeping in the terminals for two consecutive nights, the airport began to implement traveler assistance measures such as a "concessions crisis plan" and a plan to reunite passengers with their checked baggage.[69]

United Airlines' smaller number of cancellations had a significant impact on its hubs. For example, San Mateo County hotels around San Francisco International Airport rapidly filled up with travelers on 19 July.[70] Guests reported difficulty with checking into the local Marriott hotel because Marriott International was also recovering from the outage.[70]

Southwest Airlines (the largest U.S. major airline by domestic passengers) was entirely unaffected.[71] A Southwest spokesperson confirmed that it had seen no impact from the CrowdStrike outage, but refused to confirm speculation among aviation industry analysts that the airline had been shielded by its notoriously outdated software.[71]

Montréal–Trudeau International Airport and Toronto Pearson International Airport were affected in Canada, and Porter Airlines cancelled all flights.[41] Vancouver International Airport was also reportedly affected in Canada, although it was unclear whether this was directly related to the global outages.[72]

Europe

Prague Airport[73][74] in Czechia, Budapest Airport[75] in Hungary, Bratislava Airport[76] in Slovakia, and Schiphol Airport[77] in the Netherlands experienced issues. Planes were not allowed to land at Zurich Airport.[78] 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.[79] ENAIRE's Aena, the Spanish national airport traffic control manager, made reference to an IT outage in their website and social media.[80] All Spanish airports reported disruptions.[81] Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport both also experienced problems related to check in and suspension of flights.[82] 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.[83] 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.[84][85] While passenger handling continued with some restrictions, there were delays and some flights had to be cancelled by the airlines.[86] Several airlines (Eurowings, Ryanair, Vueling, and Turkish Airlines) in Hamburg Airport had to issue tickets by hand.[87] Croatian and Swedish air traffic control were also disrupted.[88][89]

Swiss International Air Lines had 30% of flights grounded.[90] Lufthansa in Germany experienced issues with the "profile and booking retrieval" features of their website.[91] 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.[92][93] Wizz Air blamed the incident for its online services going offline.[94][95] Dutch airline KLM suspended most operations, announcing that flight handling is impossible with the issue,[78] and Transavia Airlines experienced issues.[77][96] Finnair reported that they were experiencing problems with sending emails and SMS messages to customers.[97] In Greece, citizens and tourists experienced significant delays at major airports, notably at Athens International Airport and at Heraklion International Airport. 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.[98][99] 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.[100][101]

Several UK airports had problems, including Edinburgh Airport, whose departure boards froze,[102] and Gatwick Airport, where automatic barcode scanning stopped working and had to be checked manually.[78] Amadeus, which manages UK baggage at Heathrow, said they were affected by the IT outage.[103] Disruption to flights was anticipated in the Isle of Man, particularly to and from the UK, but ultimately minimal.[104]

AirAsia passengers queue at Ngurah Rai International Airport, Indonesia, after the airline's check-in system was disrupted.[105]

Asia

Hong Kong International Airport experienced delays during check-in, primarily for passengers of the local budget carrier Hong Kong Express,[106] 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.[107] Some HKExpress flights on 20 July had to be cancelled.[108] Jeju Air[78] and Spring Japan[78] experienced issues. Jetstar Japan had to cancel many flights (mostly domestic flights).[64][109] 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.[110][111] Cebu Pacific and Philippines AirAsia flights were delayed.[112][113][114] Long queues formed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.[115] In Indonesia, disruptions were reported for the check-in systems of AirAsia and Citilink.[116] In Thailand, Thai AirAsia's reservation and check-in systems were impacted.[117]

Tunisia experienced temporary airport disruptions.[118] Turkish Airlines cancelled some of its flights due to the outage.[119]

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.[120][121][122][84] As of 18:14 IST (12:44 UTC), over 200 Indian flights were cancelled with the tally of Indigo alone being 192.[123] 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. Air India put out a statement saying that none of its flights were cancelled or delayed due to the outage. [124]

Oceania

Australian airlines Qantas, Virgin Australia, and Jetstar were affected.[125][126] A Sydney Airport spokesperson said that the outage had impacted some airline operations and that "there may be some delays throughout the evening".[127] 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 their airlines. Canberra Airport, Darwin Airport, Adelaide Airport, Perth Airport, Hobart Airport, Launceston Airport, and Brisbane Airport were also affected.[73][128][129][47] In New Zealand, Christchurch Airport was also having problems.[130]

Finance

Systems in Wesley Hospital and St Andrews Hospital in Brisbane, Australia, were affected.[127]

The Central Health Information System of Croatia [hr] in Croatia was affected, although it was clarified that it was due to a concurrent issue tied with moving their servers to a new location.[199]

In Israel, Magen David Adom and its emergency service hotline was affected. Hospitals including Sheba Medical Center, Rambam Hospital and Laniado Hospital were experiencing problems that led to longer waiting times and delayed surgeries.[135]

The pharmaceutical company Krka in Slovenia suffered a full production outage and sent its workforce home.[200]

Media and communications

Numerous American TV stations were unable to broadcast because of the global outage. KSHB-TV, one of the affected stations, had to resort to airing national news via Scripps News.[64] ESPN was unable to air the morning editions of SportsCenter on the morning of the outage in America, instead airing ESPN Radio's Unsportsmanlike, simulcasting with ESPN2.[201] ESPN and ESPN2 later simulcasted Get Up! and First Take in place of SportsCenter, albeit without on-air graphics or b-roll.[202][203] Various Paramount channels were also affected including Nicktoons (with its West Coast feed switching to an old emergency feed), TeenNick, BET Her, and most channels on the Pluto TV service. MeTV Toons was sent off the air for five and a half hours. Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Team also suffered issues on the Friday of the Hungarian Grand Prix, with a Mercedes spokesperson confirming that the team had to manually address the problem on every computer it used. The issue also affected their engine customers, McLaren, Aston Martin and Williams.[204]

Supermarkets in the Philippines were affected due to crashed POS systems.[216][dubious – discuss] German supermarket chain Tegut closed some of its stores.[220] Customers have also experienced payment issues at Foodstuffs and Woolworths supermarkets in New Zealand.[130] British grocery chain Waitrose could only accept cash from customers.[221] Australian retailers and fast food chains are also hit by the outage, causing self-checkout and online order systems to be out of service.[222] Supermarkets affected included Woolworths and Coles.[73]

The international chain Starbucks's mobile application was limited to basic viewing of accounts made before the update, alongside ordering being limited to in-store purchases only, and cash register software crashes.[223]

In the United States, system issues caused by the incident forced sporting goods retailer Dick's Sporting Goods to close some of its stores and caused temporary outages to its website.[224][225]

Convenience store chain 7-Eleven experienced issues at its Speedway branded locations still running on Speedway's legacy software utilizing BlueCube and Radiant Site Manager dating from the days Speedway was owned by Marathon Petroleum Corporation, with some stores unable to accept credit or debit transactions while others were closed outright.[226] 7-Eleven, which was in the process of converting Speedway locations to its propietary RIS software,[227] did not experience issues at Speedway locations that already switched to RIS, nor did it experience issues at standard 7-Eleven or Stripes Convenience Stores locations.[citation needed]

In Norway, the pharmacy chain Apotek1 and the insurance company Tryg were compelled to suspend services; Vitusapotek and Boots were also affected.[228][229] Beyond these disruptions, Norway experienced minimal impact owing to CrowdStrike's limited market share in the country.[230]

Amazon suffered disruption to its warehouse operations and internal software.[231] An app used in Amazon warehouses to manage schedules and time-off requests called 'A to Z' was taken down by the outage and an internal service called 'Anytime Pay' became unavailable to employees.[232][233] Operations were briefly halted at some sites,[234] while Amazon's trucking operations were disrupted, with drivers saying a platform they use called 'Relay' suffered issues meaning they were briefly unable to pick up loads at warehouses.[235]

Other sectors

DCT Gdańsk, a major container hub in the Baltic port of Gdańsk in Poland, struggled with the outage, impacting terminal operations.[236] Shipping ports in the U.S. were unaffected for the most part, with only the Port of Houston (which handles the most foreign tonnage) closing briefly.[237]

In Sweden, the Malmberget mine was evacuated as a precaution.[238] Tickets for soccer games could not be sold.[239]

In the United States, security provider ADT was also affected.[140]

In Germany, Tesla halted production at its Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg for about four hours while it resolved the outage.[240]

Response

In a live interview on NBC's Today, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz delivered an apology to the public saying they were "deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travelers, to anyone affected by this, including our companies".[241] CrowdStrike has warned against malicious activity from threat actors posing as its staff or independent researchers claiming to help remediate the issue.[242]

Political

The Australian government held a national emergency meeting to address the outage. The National Coordination Mechanism was activated; Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, "I understand Australians are concerned about the outage that is unfolding globally and affecting a wide range of services. My Government is working closely with the National Cyber Security Coordinator".[130][243] He later said, "There is no impact to critical infrastructure, government services, or Triple-0 services at this stage".[244] Victorians were advised to call Triple-0 if a fire alarm sounds or smoke is detected, as some automatic alarms in buildings may not automatically call fire services due to the outage.[73]

United States President Joe Biden was in touch with CrowdStrike to offer assistance.[64] The UK government's COBR committee met to discuss the incident.[245]

India's Minister of Information and Technology Ashwini Vaishnav said that the government was in touch with Microsoft. The government's CERT-IN cybersecurity agency classified the incident as "critical".[246]

In Russia, the government noted that the sanctions and boycotts placed on Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine in 2022 had unintentionally shielded it from the outage.[247] Russia's Digital Communications Ministry said, "At the moment, the ministry has not received reports of system failures at Russian airports," and "The situation with Microsoft once again shows the importance of import substitution of foreign software, primarily at critical information infrastructure facilities." The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency confirmed that no domestic airlines were affected.[247] The Kremlin stated that its systems were working as normal.[247]

Industry

Cybersecurity consultant Troy Hunt called the incident as the "largest IT outage in history", comparing the impact with the Y2K bug by saying: "This is basically what we were all worried about with Y2K, except it's actually happened this time".[248][249] News reporters have used the term "digital pandemic" to describe the outage.[250][251][252][253]

Tesla, X Corp, Neuralink, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted on X that CrowdStrike has been "deleted from all our systems".[254] AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes demanded answers and compensation after the airline lost millions in revenue from the incident.[255]
