Global IT Outage Causes Financial Chaos and Delays A widespread technology outage caused by a malfunction in a routine software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals, and emergency services globally. Thousands of Microsoft users were knocked offline, stranding airport travelers, delaying hospital appointments, and interrupting live news broadcasts. Major airlines such as Delta, United, and American Airlines grounded all flights, and 911 phone lines in states like Alaska and Ohio were down. CrowdStrike confirmed it was not a cyberattack but a software glitch, and a fix has been sent to customers. Mac and Linux users were unaffected. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Tops $2,300 — Silver Reaches $27 READ MORE Emerging Economies Drive Gold Rally as Sanctions Fears Spark Diversification READ MORE Oil Prices Recover Slightly Amid OPEC+ Supply Concerns READ MORE Barkin Admits January's Sticky Inflation Rates Complicate Fed's Path Forward READ MORE Housing Costs Defy Inflation Trends, Challenging Federal Reserve's Targets READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
