NICE GOIN DUDES Global cyber outage blamed on security software update CrowdStrike CEO apologizes for IT outage in interview with NBC George Kurtz, the CEO of CrowdStrike, the company behind the faulty "content upgrade" that has been blamed for the global tech outages and disruptions, has apologized for the incident in an interview with US broadcaster NBC. He said the company was "deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travelers, to anyone affected by this." While the issue has been identified and fixes have been deployed, "It could be some time for some systems that just automatically won’t recover," Kurtz said. "Many of the customers are rebooting the system and it's coming up and it'll be operational," the CEO added. www.dw.com/en/global-cyber-outage-blamed-on-security-software-update/live-69710008 |

Well if Queen Pete said it might be true Tranportation system issues will hopefully be back to normal by tomorrow, says Pete Buttigieg Transportation system issues appeared to be improving and would hopefully be back to normal by Saturday, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in an interview with CNBC. He said that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) appeared to be unaffected by the disruption. "We have no indication of an impact on FAA's operational systems, such as air traffic control, or most systems within the U.S. Department of Transportation," Buttigieg said. He said they have reminded airlines of their obligations and responsibilities to passengers during the outage. www.dw.com/en/global-cyber-outage-blamed-on-security-software-update/live-69710008 |
