Columbus Faces Ongoing Disruptions from Global Outage

News summary

New York City is grappling with a major IT crisis, with initial reports of 90,000 affected devices from a CrowdStrike software update now ballooning to 300,000, including computers and servers. Mayor Eric Adams and CTO Matthew Fraser indicated that the assessment process for identifying impacted devices has been slow, relying on IT staff to individually examine each machine. Meanwhile, Columbus officials are investigating a separate cybersecurity incident believed to stem from a phishing attack, which disrupted city services but is not related to the CrowdStrike outage. Columbus faces ongoing operational issues, including restricted email communication for employees and limited access to vital information for police and fire services. Despite these challenges, critical services like 911 and payroll remain operational. Both cities highlight the broader implications of the CrowdStrike outage, which has impacted various sectors including airlines and government operations globally.
