CrowdStrike, Microsoft shares fall in premarket trading after major outage




In US premarket trading, cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike slid as much as 14%, while Microsoft shares dropped 3%, though the IT major said it had resolved the cloud-services outage.
A global tech outage was disrupting operations in multiple industries on Friday, with airlines halting flights, some broadcasters off-air and everything from banking to healthcare hit by system problems. American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines and Allegiant Air grounded flights citing communication problems. The order came shortly after Microsoft said it resolved its cloud services outage that impacted several low-cost carriers, though it was not immediately clear whether those were related.
