 (AP) \u2014 Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike said Friday that an issue that has caused major disruptions to companies worldwide is not a security incident or cyberattack.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz posted on social media platform X that the company \u201cis actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cThis is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed.\u201d<\/p>

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP\u2019s earlier story follows below.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) \u2014 A widespread Microsoft outage disrupted flights, banks, media outlets and companies around the world on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escalating disruptions continued hours after the technology company said it was gradually fixing an issue affecting access to Microsoft 365 apps and services.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The website DownDectector, which tracks user-reported internet outages, recorded growing outages in services at Visa, ADT security and Amazon, and airlines including American Airlines and Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News outlets in Australia reported that airlines, telecommunications providers and banks, and media broadcasters were disrupted as they lost access to computer systems. Airlines in the U.K., Europe and India reported problems and some New Zealand banks said they were offline.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft 365 posted on X<\/a> that the company was \u201cworking on rerouting the impacted traffic to alternate systems to alleviate impact in a more expedient fashion\u201d and that they were \u201cobserving a positive trend in service availability.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The company did not respond to a request for comment. It did not explain the cause of the outage further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Zealand’s acting prime minister, David Seymour, said on X<\/a> that officials in the country were \u201cmoving at pace to understand the potential impacts\u201d of the global problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have not currently received any reporting to indicate these issues are related to malicious cyber security activity,\u201d Seymour wrote. The issue was causing \u201cinconvenience” for the public and businesses, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel\u2019s Cyber Directorate that it was among the places affected by the global outages, attributing them to a problem with the cybersecurity platform Crowdstrike. The outage also hit the country\u2019s post offices and hospitals, according to the ministries of communication and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, major disruptions reported by airlines and airports grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the U.S., the FAA said the airlines United, American, Delta and Allegiant had all been grounded. Travelers at Los Angeles International Airport slept on a jetway floor, using backpacks and other luggage for pillows, due to a delayed United flight to Dulles International Airport early on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airlines, railways and television stations in the United Kingdom were being disrupted by the computer issues. The budget airline Ryanair, train operators TransPennine Express and Govia Thameslink Railway, as well as broadcaster Sky News are among those affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re currently experiencing disruption across the network due to a global third party IT outage which is out of our control,\u2019\u2019 Ryanair said. \u201cWe advise all passengers to arrive at the airport at least three hours before their scheduled departure time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edinburgh Airport said the system outage meant waiting times were longer than usual. London\u2019s Stansted Airport said some airline check-in services were being completed manually, but flights were still operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widespread problems were reported at Australian airports, where lines grew and some passengers were stranded as online check-in services and self-service booths were disabled. Passengers in Melbourne queued for more than an hour to check in, although flights were still operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airline operations in India were disrupted, affecting thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The privately-owned IndiGo airlines told the passengers on X that the Microsoft outage on Friday impacted airline operations in India, inconveniencing thousands of passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several airlines made statements on X saying that they were following manual check-in and boarding processes and warned of delays due to technical problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong\u2019s Airport Authority said in a statement that the outage was affecting some airlines at the city\u2019s airport and they had switched to manual check-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amsterdam\u2019s Schiphol Airport said on its website that the outage was having a \u201cmajor impact on flights\u201d to and from the busy European hub. The outage came on one of the busiest days of the year for the airport, at the start of many people\u2019s summer vacations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Germany, Berlin Airport said Friday morning that \u201cdue to a technical fault, there will be delays in check-in.\u201d It said that flights were suspended until 10 a.m. (0800GMT), without giving details, German news agency dpa reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zurich Airport, the busiest in Switzerland, suspended landings on Friday morning but said flights headed there that were already in the air were still allowed to land. It said that several airlines, handling agents and other companies at the airport were affected, and that check-in had to be done manually in some cases, but that the airport\u2019s own systems were running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport, some US-bound flights had posted delays, while others were unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia appeared to be severely affected by the issue. Outages reported on the site DownDetector included the banks NAB, Commonwealth and Bendigo, and the airlines Virgin Australia and Qantas, as well as internet and phone providers such as Telstra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hospitals in Britain and Germany also reported problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several practices within the National Health Service in England reported that the outage had hit their clinical computer system that contains medical records and is used for scheduling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have no access to patient clinical records so are unable to book appointments or provide information,\u201d Church Lane Surgery in Brighouse in Northern England said on the social media platform X. \u201cThis is a national problem and is being worked on as a high priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In northern Germany, the Schleswig-Holstein University Hospital, which has branches in Kiel and Luebeck, said it had canceled all elective surgery scheduled for Friday, but patient and emergency care were unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News outlets in Australia \u2014 including the ABC and Sky News \u2014 were unable to broadcast on their TV and radio channels, and reported sudden shutdowns of Windows-based computers. Some news anchors broadcast live online from dark offices, in front of computers showing \u201cblue screens of death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In South Africa, at least one major bank said it was experiencing \u201cnationwide service disruptions\u201d as customers reported they were unable to make payments using their bank cards at grocery stores and gas stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Zealand banks ASB and Kiwibank said their services were down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An X user posted a screenshot<\/a> of an alert from the company Crowdstrike that said the company was aware of \u201creports of crashes on Windows hosts\u201d related to its Falcon Sensor platform. The alert was posted on a password-protected Crowdstrike site and could not be verified. Crowdstrike did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
