A Faulty Software Update Causes Widespread Disruptions Worldwide
Notable Exception: China
A particularly notable aspect was that China was hardly affected by the problems. While the rest of the world grappled with the fallout from the faulty update, everything seemed to be running normally in China. This has led to speculation about whether a cyberattack from China was possibly being covered up to avoid alarming the population in Western countries.
Statements and Speculations
Some experts suspect that China was aware of the error and took measures to minimize its impact. Others speculate that the error may have been intentionally caused to create confusion and demonstrate the vulnerability of global IT systems. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these theories.
