週末還沒到,全球先迎來了一次IT故障帶來的“提前放假”。
週五,微軟的系統崩了,導致全球各地、各個行業陷入混亂和癱瘓。

美股網絡安全股盤前上升,Palo Alto Networks上升4.4%,Zscaler上升2.6%,Fortinet上升2%,SentinelOne上升6.8%。
發生了什麼?
今日,微軟發佈消息稱,旗下Microsoft 365系列服務出現訪問中斷,受影響的包括但不限於Microsoft 365各個應用,以及微軟Xbox等。
網絡上,多個用户發文,反映微軟系統出現藍屏。

據悉,此次事故的起因與美國網絡安全提供商CrowdStrike及其名為“Falcon”的軟件有關。
最新,CrowdStrike發佈消息稱,公司收到大量關於Windows電腦出現藍屏的報吿,公司工程部已確定該問題與“內容部署”有關,正在進行回滾更新。
微軟表示,正在繼續推進受影響的Microsoft 365應用和服務的緩解措施。
影響有多大?
這次故障似乎是全球性的,影響到了美國、中國、澳大利亞、日本、以色列、南非等數百萬個系統,波及到了航空、銀行、交易所、電視直播、遊戲等各行各業。
一開始,系統故障出現在美國,導致航空公司Frontier Airlines停飛兩小時,其他航空公司的運營也受到影響。
隨後,微軟宣佈其Azure和Microsoft 365問題已解決,但這似乎只適用於美國。
日本和澳大利亞也發生了進一步的系統故障,多家銀行、機場和航空公司報吿了問題。
全球多家航空公司因此被迫取消航班,機場自助登機設施受到影響,航空公司須改用人工辦理登機手續。

倫敦證券交易所表示,其RNS新聞服務出現問題,導致其網站上無法發佈新聞。不過,其他服務運行正常。
