Right, big news coming in on Microsoft outage.
It's resulted in huge uproar.
A significant Microsoft outage that's occurred, causing major issues to
dozens of services, affecting thousands, millions of users nationwide.
Currently taking place a significant Microsoft outage affecting millions of
users, limiting access to various services.
In fact, many users report that their computers have either
shut down or displayed a blue screen.
This outage is impacting major banks, International Airlines, Gmail, Amazon
emergency services, causing multiple 911 outages in several U.S.
states.
The disruption has led to widespread IT issues and frustration.
The situation is still developing.
We are awaiting a response from Microsoft on this.
Well, we know that Microsoft that's attached to or rather
gives a service to several sectors that includes airlines and
of course IT companies.
It's the computers itself.
Showing a blue screen has really shocked people.
It's affected millions of them the world over.
India is no different.
I think we cut across to Danny, Cyril de Cruz
to give us a little perspective on what exactly the
situation is and it has been fixed.
Danny, give us more on this Microsoft outage.
We hear that they that people have hardly any access
to their systems because it's just displaying a blue screen.
And that's resulted in several banking sectors, International Airlines, Gmail,
Amazon emergency services being disrupted.
Give us more and what's the reason Microsoft have they
responded?
So right now this this outage is spread across the
globe and there are reports on down detector ranging from
US, India, Australia, everywhere.
So right now its not clear why this is happening,
but its called a blue screen of death.
And that happens when there's a very inherent and fundamental
problem with the system that you're working on.
And it seems like like some of the update, one
of the updates has caused this.
But right now, there's nothing official that Microsoft has said
about the problem.
They are trying to resolve some issues with the airlines
that are grounded because of it.
But otherwise, a lot of users are still reporting it
across the globe, including India.
So right now, there's not a lot of clarity about
it.
But what we know is that it could be an
issue with the memory of the device, could be a
corruption in it or could be causing problems with the
power supply.
We, we aren't sure right now.
But what we also know that there's a company, cybersecurity
company called Crowd Strike which could be involved.
And like they, there are reports that they had posted
an update which has been causing these issues.
But right now we need more clarity on why its
happening.
But it's spread across the globe.
OK, Thanks very much, Danny, for joining us on that.
Well, it's really disrupted services, multiple sectors across the world.
Microsoft is yet to respond.
Let's hope it's rectified soon enough.
