According to Foresight News, Polygon's Chief Information Security Officer, Mudit Gupta, has highlighted a significant issue with the latest version of Crowdstrike Falcon EDR. Gupta stated that a bug in the software has caused continuous crashes and reboots on Windows devices, leading to widespread disruptions in global IT infrastructure. This has affected critical services, including emergency services, airports, and stock exchanges.

Gupta assured that although Polygon Labs uses Crowdstrike, they have not been impacted by this issue. He explained that Polygon Labs does not roll out non-critical updates to employees without thorough testing. Furthermore, Gupta emphasized that the Polygon network remains decentralized. Therefore, even if Polygon Labs were affected by such IT incidents, the Polygon network itself would remain unaffected.
