Global cyber disruption continues from manual flight tickets to cancellation of surgery!
According to Reuters, many flights around the world have been canceled and banking systems and business operations have stopped following the cyber disruption and network outage caused by what has been announced as a problem in Microsoft’s operating systems. Also, the treatment system in many countries has been affected.
American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and Allegiant Air have canceled their flights citing communication problems.
United Airlines wrote in a statement: A software outage belonging to a contracting company has affected computer systems around the world. We have grounded all aircraft at the origin airport as we work to get systems back up and running. Flights that are already flying will continue to the destination.
The Australian government has announced that the network outage in the country’s media, banking, and telecommunications services is related to a technical problem in the cyber security company “Crowdastrike”.
According to the warning issued by this company to its users and seen by Reuters, the “Falcon Sensor” software of this company led to the failure of “Microsoft Windows”, which subsequently led to the display of a blue warning screen.
However, Australia’s Office of the National Cyber ​​Security Coordinator has claimed that there is no information to suggest that the incident was caused by a cyber attack or incident.
The passenger industry is among the industries that have suffered the most damage from this outage and cyber disruption, and airports around the world, including Tokyo, Amsterdam, Berlin, and several Spanish airports, have reported system disruptions and flight delays.
Also, international airlines, including Ryanair, which is the largest airline in Europe in terms of the number of passengers, have warned about problems in the ticket reservation system and other related disturbances.
