Companies and other organizations were dealing with a backlog of orders, canceled appointments, and delayed travel plans after a technology crash disrupted computer systems globally for several hours.
CrowdStrike blamed the outage on the roll-out of a fix for a problem with its software, causing disruptions impacting millions from Brazil to Japan, affecting flights, bank services, and TV channels.
Disruptions were expected to persist as firms struggled to update their IT systems following the outage, with more than 5,000 flights canceled and airports implementing early passenger arrivals globally.
Airlines warned of additional flight delays as services were restored, while major airports in Europe gradually resumed operations after suspensions due to the technology crash, including impacts observed in Times Square, New York.
