MAJOR GLOBAL OUTAGE
A major IT outage has affected:
– Major banks
– Media companies
– Airlines
– Microsoft services
– London Stock Exchange
– 911 services in the US
The outage is reported to be related to an issue at global cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.
So, why did all this happen? Is it a cyberattack or another issue?
According to the statements made, there is no global cyberattack. At least, we can be relieved about that. As noted in The Spectator Index’s explanation, the cause of the outage is an issue with CrowdStrike‘s system. Additionally, there is a problem originating from Microsoft.
Microsoft has announced that efforts are underway to resolve the issue. They also stated that they are taking steps to mitigate the outages, and these efforts are proving effective. Similarly, CrowdStrike has acknowledged the problem in their statements.
For now, it is challenging to say anything definitive about what is happening. While a problem has been identified, the source, how it will be resolved, and when remain uncertain.
An investigation into the global outage affecting devices using the Windows operating system has determined that the disruption is not due to a cyberattack.
