By Friday (July 19) Microsoft and CrowdStrike outage There are major disruptions to air traffic in Germany. Eurowings has announced that it is suspending all of its flights until 3 p.m. flights. The vast majority of airports reported minor and major effects of the failure. The biggest problems are in Hamburg, Berlin and Nuremberg. In Cologne and Stuttgart, check-in is carried out without computer.
In addition to airports, the failure also hit Germany's critical infrastructure
In places in Germany, offices are closed, including in Munich. Hospitals in Lübeck and Cologne have canceled all operations scheduled for today. It is worth emphasizing that hospitals and airports are among the country's critical infrastructure.
It is not known what else is not working or is limited, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not specify its announcement about the failure of systems important for the country's security. The insurance company Allianz is also having IT problems. The Tegut grocery chain has closed some of its stores for the same reason.
What about critical infrastructure in Poland? Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz: All state services are operating
– All state services are working to secure critical infrastructure – said Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, referring to the global failure. Kosiniak-Kamysz added that the matter is coordinated by Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski.
Let us recall that information about global failure started appearing around 9am on Friday 19th July. The Central Information Technology Center reported that Polish state systems are not at risk. This is due to the fact that most solutions are based on their own, independent IT infrastructure, and not on cloud systems provided by technology giants.
