Global IT Outage Disrupts Airlines, Banks, Media, Telecoms
A widespread IT outage has caused disruptions in airlines, banks, supermarkets, telecoms, and media outlets across multiple countries. Australia's National Cyber Security Coordinator is investigating a technical issue related to third-party software, but there is no evidence of a cyber attack.
Airports in Australia are experiencing delays, and supermarkets and media outlets are also affected. The police in New South Wales have been made aware of the situation and are advising emergency calls.
IT security firm Crowdstrike is aware of reports of Microsoft Windows crashes. The outage has led to blue screen errors on Windows PCs, impacting banks, airlines, and media globally.
The issue has been linked to Falcon Sensor by Crowdstrike, and Microsoft 365 services have been affected. Australian broadcasters and the cyber security coordinator have confirmed that the problem is related to third-party software.
The UK train operator and Melbourne Airport have also been affected. Sky News UK has gone off air, and presenter Jacquie Beltrao has reported issues.
Earlier, US airlines were grounded due to a separate cloud outage. Various sectors, including banks, brokerage houses, and airlines, are facing widespread outages caused by Windows errors like the 'blue screen of death'.
Some businesses, such as Australian energy company AGL, have blamed a CrowdStrike update for the issues. The global IT outage has affected airlines, banks, and other systems, with Aena, Iberia, and other organizations resorting to manual systems.
The Berlin airport, BER, was forced to suspend operations due to the IT failure, while worldwide disruptions have been reported on major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
