CrowdStrike: World’s biggest IT outage continues to cause global chaos

CrowdStrike, the cyber-security company that has acquired a certain infamy after admitting responsibility for the IT outage that has upended services across the globe, is warning of “bad actors” trying to take advantage of the chaos.

Cyber agencies in both the UK and Australia have urged people to be alert to fake emails or calls.

Meanwhile, transport and health systems have been badly hit, with travellers facing continued delays and cancellations.
