Republican lawmakers have called on CrowdStrike CEO George Kutz to testify in a congressional hearing about a major tech outage that affected various industries around the world last week.
The IT outages were triggered on July 19 by a defect in a content update for Windows hosts from CrowdStrike. Microsoft estimated it affected 8.5 million Windows devices globally. CrowdStrike said a fix has been deployed and that the outage was not caused by a cyberattack.
