Singapore's Gov't Services, Banks, Telcos, Hospitals Unaffected By Global Outage

SINGAPORE, July 19 (Bernama) -- Singapore’s government services, local banks, telcos, and hospitals are not affected by the global IT systems outage impacting organisations worldwide.

Singapore’s Digital Development and Information Ministry (MDDI) stated it is aware of the global outage and its effect on several companies in the republic in delivering services to the public, including check-in services for airlines, publishing of newspapers, and carparks.

“With the information we have currently, it is a technical issue involving software from Microsoft and Crowdstrike, and not a cybersecurity incident,” MDDI said in a statement on Friday.

The ministry said it is monitoring the impact and assisting companies in their recovery efforts.
