Businesses globally have been disrupted as a result of a series of technical glitches in Microsoft\u2019s systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Major airlines, media organizations, businesses and police forces around the world are currently being affected by this Technical glitch caused by a problem with\u00a0Microsoft cloud\u00a0computing services early Friday.<\/p>\n

Flights have been grounded in several countries and stores and broadcasters in several countries went offline as the outage affected Windows PCs.<\/p>\n

Carriers including American Airline, Delta Airlines and United Airlines all issued ground stops on Friday morning citing communication issues.<\/p>\n

Delta have ordered a \u201cglobal ground stop,\u201d according to Rep. Eric Swalwell, a member of the House subcommittee on cybersecurity,\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

In Europe, Berlin\u2019s Brandenburg Airport said there would be delays to passenger check-in \u201cbecause of a technical fault,\u201d and Aena, which manages 46 airports in Spain, said\u00a0\u201can incident in the computer system\u201d could cause delays. Sydney Airport, one of Australia\u2019s largest, said there would be delays.<\/p>\n

On social media, employees from across the world have shared how they have been unable to work as their Windows systems refused to power up. Images of blue screens showing \u201cyour PC ran into a problem and needs to restart\u201d dot the social media as people struggle to power up their computers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Several newspapers have also reported at least some of the problems stemmed from CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. cybersecurity software. Australia\u2019s AGL Energy Ltd. said in a post on X it was currently experiencing system issues due to a CrowdStrike outage.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg, a Microsoft spokesperson said the company was looking into the situation, while Crowdstrike representatives were not immediately available for comment outside normal business hours, and calls to their main number in Japan went unanswered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re continuing to progress on our mitigation efforts for the affected Microsoft 365 apps and services. We still expect users to see remediation as we address residual impact,\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0Microsoft said in its latest status update.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However this has has not impacted businesses in Nigeria yet as Microsoft services are still working fine in the country as of the time of filing this report.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
