The US Department of Justice is currently facing technology disruptions due to a technology outage caused by CrowdStrike, as per an internal memo obtained by a source. The memo indicates that the department is actively seeking solutions to mitigate the impact of the CrowdStrike issue, but at present, there is no estimated timeline for full restoration.
While basic communication channels such as phones and tablets remain functional, certain critical applications like Microsoft Office programs may not be accessible to users within the department, as outlined in the memo.
The Justice Department has informed its staff that the ongoing CrowdStrike issue is affecting businesses and government entities globally, underscoring the widespread nature of the problem. The memo advises employees to be prepared for potential work disruptions and to explore alternative methods to carry out their duties until a resolution is reached.
