Major IT Outage Disrupts Key Services Across Canada


A significant IT outage has caused widespread disruptions across Canada, affecting airports, banks, border crossings, and hospitals. The issue originated from a faulty update deployed by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, impacting computers running Microsoft Windows.

Airports: The outage led to numerous flight cancellations and delays, particularly affecting U.S.-based carriers like United Airlines and American Airlines. Porter Airlines, operating within Canada and to some U.S. locations, also experienced significant disruptions.

Banks: TD Bank and other financial institutions faced operational challenges, causing inconvenience to customers and delays in transactions.

Border Crossings: The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reported partial outages in its telephone reporting system, primarily affecting small aircraft passengers and boaters. Long delays were noted at major border crossings, including the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor tunnel.

Hospitals: Health care networks in British Columbia and other regions experienced disruptions, affecting their computer systems and networks.

CrowdStrike has acknowledged the issue, stating that it was not a security incident or cyberattack. Efforts are underway to restore normal operations, but the impacts are expected to linger for several days.
