A widespread worldwide outage has forced the closure of numerous businesses, including airlines, train companies, TV and GP services.
The problem is thought to be connected to a problem at Microsoft and the international cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. However, it's unclear if it's the same problem that affects train and airport services worldwide.While CrowdStrike announced in an automated message that it was aware of reports of crashes, Microsoft stated on Friday morning (July 19) that it was still working to fix the "lingering impact" of its 365 applications and services, which are in a "degraded state".
