Transport providers, businesses, and governments are currently working to restore their systems following a significant technology outage that has led to long-lasting disruptions. The most impacted sector has been air travel, with thousands of flights canceled on Friday, resulting in planes and crews being out of position. Airports are still experiencing issues with check-ins and security procedures.
The root cause of this massive disruption has been identified as a faulty update deployed by CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that supplies software to numerous companies globally. CrowdStrike clarified that the problem was not due to a security breach or cyberattack.
