Capitals, SANA- A number of companies around the world such as major Banks, media outlets, and airlines, have been hit globally by a computer system outage caused by a technical glitch in the “CrowdStrike” cybersecurity program Friday.
The British newspaper, Financial Times, reported that the service outage was due to a glitch during an update to the “CrowdStrike” program, which caused a problem in the Windows system.
This defect has led to paralysis at international airports, such as in the United States, where the American aviation agency said: American Airlines has stopped the movement of aircraft due to a communication problem, as well as in Australia and the Netherlands in addition to many countries of the world.
In a related context, the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike said: “We are aware of reports of a flaw in the Windows operating system of one of the servers and are working to address it.”
