ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) of UAE issued an "important and urgent notice" to CrowdStrike software users.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, TDRA wrote, "We inform you of a technical issue with the CrowdStrike software update, which may impact the electronic systems of institutions using it."
"We advise users of the program to hold off on any updates or downloads of CrowdStrike software until the issue is resolved."
"TDRA is closely monitoring the situation and will keep you updated."
Notably, this comes as businesses around the world have been taken offline following a mass global outage.
