Across the United States and Canada, Facebook, CrowdStrike, and AT&T outages were most
significant, followed by interruptions in various gaming services and ISPs. Notably, when a
routine software update of Crowdstrike went awry on July 19, nearly five million user-reports
on Downdetector linked to services that use Crowdstrike or Microsoft (including emergency
services, airlines, and ride-sharing apps) were reported.
“In such scenarios, early detection, problem isolation, and user communication becomes critical
for local telecom operators and service providers. Leveraging Downdetector Explorer, operators
can understand the size and scale of incidents — and rapidly act to resolve issues that matter
most to consumers,” said Farid.
