GLOBAL OUTAGES - Major banks, media and airlines affected by major IT outage - Significant disruption to some Microsoft services - 911 services disrupted in several US states - Services at London Stock Exchange disrupted - Sky News is off air - Flights in Berlin grounded - Reports the issue relates to problem at global cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike

Do you have offline backup processes at least? Nasty situation.
