More and more people are finding themselves dependent on the world of technology. A software problem caused unprecedented chaos around the world - major banks, media, airlines and railway companies in different parts of the world simply stopped working. The global computer crash also made it impossible for GPs to work and pharmacies to dispense prescription drugs. The payment systems of some stores have also stopped, Nova TV specifies.
It turned out that the problem comes from a software update that is supposed to monitor computer systems for hacker attacks.
In the US alone, over 3,300 flights were canceled in 24 hours, and another 11,000 had massive delays. Many airports were in chaos and hundreds of thousands of passengers were stranded. 911 was also down due to downed phone lines.
The situation was similar in Great Britain, which is gradually starting to recover after the global collapse of computer systems.
