Worldwide computer systems failure: Airports, banks, supermarkets & networks affected
It was early Friday afternoon in Australia when the first signs of trouble emerged in retail outlets, banks and on television.
A news broadcast reporting the situation went to black, resuming, eventually, to reveal blue screens in the background, indicating the dreaded shutdown of a windows operating system.
The extent of the problem perhaps most obvious at airports around the globe.
There long lines formed as airlines lost access to check-in and booking services at a time when many travelers are heading away on summer vacations.
