An IT expert believes there'll be a flurry of lawsuits on the back of Friday's global IT outage. 

Microsoft estimated 8.5 million computers were disabled with a blue screen of death, and experts predict it'll be weeks before all systems fully recover.  

It is believed the outage was triggered by an update from global cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. 

IT expert Danu Abeysuirya told Ryan Bridge CrowdStrike failed in its responsibilities. 

He says the company's in for a world of hurt via lawsuits.
