A global tech outage hit services and companies in multiple industries around the world on Friday, including in banking, travel and broadcasting in Spain, Turkey and Australia.

Global cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike told NBC News that the outage is related to an issue in the most recent update, which is now being rolled back. 

Widespread reports on social media showed people's computers with "blue screens of death." 

In Australia, the outage affected banks, telecom companies and media including the Australia Broadcasting Corporation.

"Our current information is this outage relates to a technical issue with a third-party software platform employed by affected companies, " the office of Australia's National Cyber Security Coordinator Michelle McGuinness said in a post on X.

"There is no information to suggest it is a cyber security incident. We continue to engage across key stakeholders."

A moderator on a Reddit post discussing the outage, posted threads from Crowdstrike's engineering team, which stated, "CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon Sensor."
