00:00Good evening, Zombie Science and Mindanao.
00:04The job market is in a state of global IT outage.
00:11A cybersecurity provider used by many companies around the world was affected.
00:18Many computers were shut down,
00:21so transactions were done manually in their banks, hospitals, and other establishments.
00:27Along with the affected companies and airlines in the Philippines,
00:31there were flights that were delayed or canceled because of this.
00:35From Naia, Terminal 3, live on Chino Gaston.
00:40Chino.
00:43Mel, Atom, Emil,
00:44canceled or delayed international and domestic flights,
00:48and of course, the passengers who are having a headache,
00:53here at Ninoy Aquino International Airport,
00:55were the only ones affected by this IT outage.
01:01Here at Terminal 3,
01:02we can see the people gathered at the check-in counters,
01:05and we talked to some of them,
01:07and they are saying that their flights were canceled,
01:10but it is not clear how the tickets will be rebooked or refunded.
01:14There are also many people there,
01:14there are flights at 8 p.m. right now,
01:17but in the current situation,
01:18it seems like they won't be able to make it.
01:21Aside from Cebu Pacific and AirAsia,
01:23some banks confirmed that they were affected by the global IT outage.
01:28Some of their services and transactions are affected.
01:32They are monitoring the situation
01:34and are asking their service providers
01:37to return it to normal.
01:39According to the Department of Information and Communication Technology,
01:43they are strictly monitoring the IT outage.
01:46It was reported as a faulty update by a cybersecurity provider.
01:50This outage is affecting many companies around the world,
01:55including the Philippines.
01:57They confirmed that DICT is not using the same cybersecurity service,
02:02so there is no effect on the DICT system.
02:07They are continuously investigating the extent of the effect of this outage.
02:14Emil, not only in Metro Manila,
02:16but also in other parts of the country,
02:21not only here in the country,
02:22but also overseas.
02:24Emil.
02:25Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.
02:30The root of the problem in the computer systems of airlines, banks, and businesses
02:35in different parts of the world
02:36is the problem with the product of a global cybersecurity firm.
02:40The effect of the global IT outage
02:43in other parts of the world
02:45is the fault of MAV Gonzales.
02:50The issue in Australia was first noticed
02:53when the media, banks, and telecom companies experienced an outage.
02:56Some supermarkets and stores also closed
02:59because their computers showed a blue screen of death.
03:04This is what appears on computer screens
03:06that use Windows operating systems when there is an error in the system.
03:10The airport is also affected in different parts of the world.
03:13In America, flights were canceled in different states
03:16because of the shutdown of all computer systems,
03:19like in Hong Kong.
03:20They are now doing a manual check-in,
03:21but the flight operations are not affected.
03:23This is also the case in other airports in Asia, Europe, and Africa.
03:27In the United Kingdom,
03:28the booking systems used by doctors also had a problem.
03:32Based on the alert sent by CrowdStrike to their clients,
03:35there is an issue with their Falcon sensor
03:37that showed a crash on Windows
03:39that showed a blue screen of death.
03:41According to Reuters,
03:42home computers should not be affected by the incident.
03:46According to the Australian government,
03:48this may be related to the issue of the global cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike
03:52that uses many businesses in different parts of the world
03:55for the security of Windows computers and servers.
03:58According to Microsoft,
04:00their services are getting better
04:02while they continue to implement mitigating actions.
04:06According to the National Cybersecurity Coordinator of Australia,
04:09there is no indication of a cybersecurity incident,
04:11the global outage.
