There are no signs of a cyber attack, the spokesman added. The German government's definition of critical infrastructure covers energy, transport and telecommunications.
CEO of “Crowdstrike“ announced on the social network "X" that the company is "actively working with affected customers from a defect found in one of the Windows updates". “There is no security incident or cyber attack. The problem has been identified, isolated and a fix has been released,” he said, as quoted by the Associated Press.
