Worldwide disruptions
8.5 million devices affected by mega IT glitch
Around 8.5 million Microsoft devices were affected by the worldwide computer disruptions. This means that the technical failure on Friday, which was linked to a software update from the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, affected less than one percent of all Windows devices, the US software company announced on Saturday.
CrowdStrike had helped to develop a solution that would allow Microsoft's Azure cloud platform to speed up the resolution of the problem.
Microsoft also worked with Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform to find effective solutions together, it added.
Faulty software update
On Friday, a faulty software update from CrowdStrike caused Microsoft applications to crash, leading to one of the largest outages of global IT systems to date and causing massive problems around the world.
International air traffic was particularly affected, but banks and the media also reported disruptions and hospitals canceled operations.
