You mean the financial crash of 2008? Idk about that, but there will be financial fallout.

An industry leading antivirus software pushed and update that crashed any windows machine its on. BSOD=blue-screen of death. The devices aren't bricked. The update just needs to be reverted. But applying the update is difficult because the devices are BSOD.

To get an idea of how wide spread crowd strike is: my employer's clients are requiring all of my employer's computers to have this antivirus software installed.
