The company behind the world's worst IT outage has given gift cards to its teammates and partners to apologise and thank them for the extra work during last week's meltdown.
The firm behind the global IT outage that cost companies billions, ground 5% of the world's air traffic and brought NHS systems to their knees has given out $10 food vouchers to say sorry. And for some, they don't even work. CrowdStrike sought to thank and apologise to its 'teammates' and partners for the extra workload resulting from the outage last Friday which knocked out millions of computers worldwide.
'We did send these to our teammates and partners who have been helping customers through this situation. 'Uber flagged it as fraud because of high usage rates,' they added. Last week's outage, which has been described as the world's worst as its effects are still being felt today, was caused by a faulty software update which affected an estimated 8.5 million Microsoft Windows PCs devices. It caused delays for airports, broadcasters, hospitals and businesses.
