Not sure how extensive, but Microsoft and some other tech stuff down not just here in US, but other parts of the world too.

Our IT people saying there's no ETA on when it will be back up either. I've been "dark" for work since just after lunch.

Yeah, it's global. "Infrastructure issues" is all I get.

Anything using microsoft hosting or domain products is down that's millions of sites and apps globally.

An update to the private communications network that connects America's air traffic control system caused the system to reboot, leading to a crash and a communications outage, multiple sources told CBS News earlier Friday. The system is operated by L3Harris, which did not immediately respond to CBS News' request for comment.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in Friday's briefing that new security patches introduced into the older system appeared to "overwhelm" its routers.

I got lucky yesterday. I was in Philadelphia all week for business. My flight left at 12:30 PM yesterday. They made the ground stop call when we were in the air. We flew straight through to Houston without them letting us know anything was going on. I heard about it taking the parking shuttle from someone checking their phone. I would have hated to be stuck in that shithole any longer. Unfortunately our company headquarters are near Philly. My son, who live in the Houston area, had flown to Dallas yesterday for business and got stuck taking a bus back home.

All in all for what it was, actually a pretty good drill pretty good outcome.
