MIAA says international carriers at NAIA ''remain unaffected'' by system issues
The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has monitored system issues affecting operations of two local airlines at NAIA, attributed to a cyber incident involving CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity provider. As of 4 pm, international carriers at NAIA remain unaffected.
CrowdStrike confirmed on July 19, that it has identified widespread instances of "BSODs" (Blue Screen of Deaths) on Windows hosts, indicating system crashes on Microsoft's Windows operating system.
A global cyber disruption is affecting critical services including flights, banking, and company operations in various countries such as Singapore, the United States, and Australia. This disruption, linked to Microsoft's Windows, appears to be related to an issue with cybersecurity software from CrowdStrike.
In response to the situation, MIAA has mobilized additional manpower to manage extended queues at check-in counters and will provide "Malasakit Kits" to affected passengers.
MIAA General Manager Eric Jose Ines has directed all terminal managers to closely monitor developments and offer necessary assistance as required. The Medical Division is also on high alert to respond promptly to any medical emergencies. MIAA
