Islandwide, nearly 200 carparks were affected.
SINGAPORE - Airlines, businesses and cars here came to a momentary standstill as a supposedly minor security update by cyber-security provider CrowdStrike resulted in one of the worst tech outages in history on July 19.
MDDI said: “We are aware of a global outage affecting the IT systems of organisations around the world, including Singapore. With the information we have currently, it is a technical issue involving software from Microsoft and CrowdStrike, and not a cyber-security incident. We are monitoring the impact and assisting companies to help them recover.”
Roughly 185 carparks, or 10 per cent of all carparks, in Housing Board estates were affected by the outage, HDB said in a Facebook post. Freelance writer Allyson Thomas, 50, said she and her husband were stuck in their car behind a bent gantry at a Toa Payoh carpark for 20 minutes. They could not reach the operator when they called as they must have been swamped with calls, she said.
Ms Thomas and others on the road said that many roads were jammed with cars waiting to enter carparks with affected gantries.
