An unprecedented IT outage caused by a simple software update that crippled companies and services around the country has revealed just how vulnerable Australia’s security infrastructure could be to a malicious attack.

“This is a technical issue, caused by a Crowdstrike update to its customers.” The company said it had issued a fix for the problem, allowing affected companies and organisations to reboot their systems.
