Emergency services, medical practices, airlines, banks, and more all crippled
CrowdStrike's share price is currently tanking amid a major global IT outage its leadership has attributed to a dodgy channel file.
From a regional perspective, Edinburgh Airport owes longer waiting times to the CrowdStrike incident, with wider reports suggesting departure boards are down across the site. Check-in services at Berlin airport are also impacted. "The NHS has longstanding measures in place to manage the disruption, including using paper patient records and handwritten prescriptions, and the usual phone systems to contact your GP.
A spokesperson said:"We apologize to customers for the disruption they're experiencing this morning. This is due to a worldwide IT issue affecting multiple companies and industries. Our advice to customers is to check our websites for the latest travel information and to check before they travel."
