(The Center Square) – Cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike said Friday a major technology outage is not a cyberattack but is due to a defect in a single content update.
Banks, airlines and other services were affected by the incident.
“The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed,” the company said on its blog.
Airports asked passengers for patience.
“With the global technology issue impacting several airlines this morning, please check your flight status directly with your carrier. Longer lines and wait times are possible, please allow extra time,” the Chicago O’Hare International Airport said on its Facebook page.
This is a developing story.
