A global IT disruption has resulted in airports, banks, and shops facing outages due to a technical malfunction and an update crashing Windows computers. The CrowdStrike service, which is meant to ensure system security, is believed to be involved.
The Berlin-Brandenburg Airport is among those affected, with delays reported. Major US airlines have grounded flights, and media, financial, and telecoms sectors have also been impacted.
The disruption has affected global cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike and Windows computers. Microsoft has resolved cloud service outages, and Australia's National Cyber Security Coordinator has stated that there is no evidence of a cyber security incident.
Ryanair has warned of potential disruptions, and Spain has reported a computer incident at all its airports. The London Stock Exchange, broadcasters, and critical sectors have also been paralyzed by the widespread Windows outage.
