Series of technical IT glitches disrupt services worldwide

Services globally, spanning airlines to banks, are experiencing disruptions due to technical glitches linked to a Microsoft outage, as reported by Bloomberg.

This series of failures has affected operations from the US to Asia, with major companies like McDonald’s, United Airlines, and the LSE Group facing communication challenges with customer service.

The issues appear to be part of a broader trend impacting numerous corporations across Japan, India, and the US.

While the precise cause of these disruptions remains unclear, some problems have been traced back to CrowdStrike cybersecurity software. Microsoft has acknowledged the situation and is actively investigating the matter.
