Crowdstrike Update: Airports, Payments and Broadcasting Still Impacted

GLOBAL

The spillover impact of Crowdstrike's "bad patch" for their Falcon Sensor system continues to reverberate around the global economy, with key services globally still hindered. So far impacts include, but are not limited to:

  • US airlines including Delta, American and United have grounded all flights, while European, Australian, American and Indian airports all see significant delays in processing times, from security clearance to ticket administration.
  • Payments have been impacted, with some electronic payment methods being declined in store - particularly contactless.
  • Exchanges and financial news providers have reported sporadic issues - the LSE have stated their exchange is operating as normal, however the news filing RNS system has been impacted. Anecdotally, Bloomberg terminals saw some performance issues, but these have been rectified.
  • Central bank operations, including the Norges Bank's F-Auction system has been interrupted, while the UK DMO are monitoring the situation ahead of their weekly T-bill tender.
