A “wide-ranging technical breach” is affecting dozens of businesses in Australia — from banks, telcos and media — and appears to be linked to problems experienced by cybersecurity services firm Crowdstrike, a spokesman for Australia’s Department of Home Affairs said.
According to specialist website Downdetector, the flaw affects many banks and telecommunications companies.
“I have been made aware of a large-scale technical breach affecting a number of businesses and services across Australia this followingnoon,” Michelle McGuinness of the Australian Cybersecurity Agency said via X.
“Current information indicates that this vulnerability is linked to a technical issue with the software platform used by the affected companies,” she added.
Besides, McGuinness emphasized that “there is no information to suggest that this is an incident related to cyber security”.
Australia’s state broadcaster ABC said it was experiencing a “major technical failure”, without elaborating.
For its part, Crowdstrike says in a pre-recorded message that it is aware of reports of a problem with Microsoft’s Windows operating system linked to the Falcon sensor.
Earlier, the Berlin airport announced the suspension of air traffic until 11:00 Greek time due to a technical problem in the IT system.
