The CEO of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike said Friday his company is \u201cdeeply sorry\u201d in the wake of a global internet outage<\/a> that hit airlines and businesses worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna start with saying we’re deeply sorry for the impact that we’ve caused to customers, to travelers, to anyone affected by this, including our company,\u201d George Kurtz said in an interview on NBC’s \u201cToday\u201d show. \u201cSo, we know what the issue is. We’re resolving and have resolved the issue. Now it’s recovering systems that are out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to flight-tracking website<\/a> FlightAware, more than 27,000 flights were delayed worldwide, with more than 2,700 of them in the U.S. Multiple airlines noted<\/a> they were facing troubles with technology<\/a> Friday in posts on the social platform X.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts,\u201d Kurtz said in a post early Friday morning<\/a> on X. \u201cMac and Linux hosts are not impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a security incident or cyberattack,\u201d he added. \u201cThe issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed. We refer customers to the support portal for the latest updates and will continue to provide complete and continuous updates on our website.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurtz said in the interview that his company had \u201cbeen on with our customers all night and working with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the customers are rebooting the system, and it’s coming up and it’d be operational, because of, we fixed it on our end,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd some of the systems that aren\u2019t recovering, we\u2019re working with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a post<\/a> on X that it \u201cis closely monitoring a technical issue impacting IT systems at U.S. airlines.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral airlines have requested FAA assistance with ground stops until the issue is resolved,\u201d the FAA added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
