Emergency response lines went down. Thousands of flights were delayed and canceled. Hospitals were forced to delay procedures, and trading across markets slowed.In an effort to explain how another firm’s software update brought down Windows systems, Ann Johnson, a deputy chief information security officer at Microsoft, used the analogy of a driver filling a car with fuel.“If you have an automobile, and you take that automobile to the fuel station and you get fuel that is not quality fuel or corrupted fuel, your automobile is not going to work properly,” Johnson said in an interview Friday. “The fuel is traversing throughout the entire system of your engine, and it will impact performance.
