Banks, Airlines, E-commerce Disrupted Worldwide

A major global outage impacting business systems, commerce, and travel has hit numerous companies, with initial indications suggesting it was a cyber-attack targeting cyber security firm CrowdStrike. However, it was later clarified that it was due to a glitchy software update. The disruption affected banks, airlines, tech giants like Microsoft, and payment services like Visa.
