A Microsoft spokesperson has pointed out that some of the recent disruptions in Crowdstrike's service can be traced back to a regulatory agreement signed with the European Union over a decade ago. This agreement had profound effects on Microsoft's business operations at the time, and the current situation has shed light on its underlying complexities. Although specific details have not been fully disclosed, the agreement is considered one of the key factors contributing to the Crowdstrike failure. This event has sparked discussions both within and outside the industry about how technology companies interact with global regulatory policies, particularly concerning the impact of data security and privacy regulations on the provision of daily services.
