BCL partner Julian Hayes
comments on the recent global CrowdStrike x Microsoft outage in IT
Brief.
"Weekend plans were shunted aside this morning as
Microsoft services were hit by mass outages, causing snowballing
global chaos," he said.
"Flights have been grounded across the world, trains
cancelled, and sea freight terminals closed."
He said in the UK, doctors and pharmacies were unable to log
on to clinical systems, "just weeks after the NHS suffered a
cyberattack".
Hayes added that UK water companies, financial services,
media, and retail sectors were experiencing related IT
issues.
