Statement from Governor Murphy on Global Technology Outage Involving CrowdStrike and Microsoft
"I have been briefed on the global technology outage involving CrowdStrike software and Microsoft operating systems, which has grounded flights, disrupted banks, and slowed the work of businesses and critical services including 911 call centers.
"We activated our State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) as of 3:00 a.m. in response to these disruptions and have provided guidance to relevant executive branch agencies on how to address the situation. We are also engaging county and local governments, 911 call centers, and utilities to assess the impact and offer our assistance.
"I’ve asked my senior team, including Director of the Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness Laurie Doran, New Jersey State Police Superintendent Colonel Pat Callahan, and Chief Technology Officer Chris Rein to provide additional updates during the course of the day as the situation evolves."
