It's the Russians. Or the Chinese. Or both.
Read something about it being something to do with a Microsoft update rather than anything malicious.
That doesn't mean we should give them the benefit of the doubt, of course.

It's a Microsoft system and crowdstrike software the experts think it's probably a crowdstrike security update that has gone wrong.
Summary
- Major IT outages are hitting industries across the world, with airlines, broadcasters and supermarkets affected
- Queues are growing at many airports; American Airlines is one of several airlines to ground flights - it says problems are due to a Crowdstrike cybersecurity software issue
- Microsoft says it's taking mitigation action, but the cause of the outage hasn't been confirmed
- In the UK, trains, shops, airports, pharmacies and some GP surgeries in England have been affected
- Earlier, Sky News was unable to broadcast live
It’s to do with a bit of security software that watches for malicious processes on machines.
It seems to have identified something in some windows installations as a problem and started bricking them.
There’s a lot of companies using it, and I’m assuming that includes Microsoft in their data centres, which has meant the issue has gone way wider than it would have otherwise.

Crowdstrike have released a statement saying they are aware of the issue they have found the problem and are fixing it they are getting a slating for not apologising for the inconvenience they have caused and their shares have dropped 21 percent already.

It appears to be impacting people in different ways.
We're seeing little impact in my job which I'd normally expect to see.
My local village, however, is unable to take payments.

What happened to the manual registar or can teachers not think that far, you couldn't make it up
A mate of mine couldn't turn his burglar alarm on this morning.
Exactly what we said to our daughter Rod
A Cashless society thread was opened back in May and @Clint said in the first post "Be careful what you wish for" today is a good example of why we shouldn't go cashless any time soon.

sounds to be one of the smaller problems facing people today, given the news

Last day of school... this feels like "oh no, I saw two flakes of snow fall from the sky, it's far too dangerous for me to drive to work"

Is this having an adverse effect on anyone who uses brewing software or recipe calculators. Time to dust off you trusty pencil sharpeners and lubricate your slide-rules.
