This country was left untouched by blue screen death

 On last Friday, from airline to broadcasting daily operations had come to standstill.


A software update rolled out by US based cyber security firm led to the disruption of work flow across the globe.


The update was meant to make the cyber system secure against hacking, but due to a glitch in the update, the IT systems faced a Blue Screen of Death error which caused the systems to suddenly shutdown or restart.


It has been reported that China remained largely unaffected by the outage.


China's airline and banking sector were not hit due to technical glitch.


Reason is China doesn't rely on the outside infrastructure to support its daily operations.
