CrowdStrike will explain to Congress about the global Windows mess

It is estimated that around 8.5 million computers around the world were affected

Newsroom September 24 05:32

Two months after the unprecedented incident in which millions of Windows computers were taken offline after a bug in the software update, the company’s chief executive is expected to give an explanation to the U.S. Congress today, Tuesday.

Adam Meyers, a top executive of CrowdStrike, will appear before the congressmen. He is expected to apologize for the error and stress his company’s determination to ensure it does not happen again.

The committee has also called CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz, but for now he is not on the witness list.
