Massive Global Cyber Outage Causes Long Queues At US-Mexico Border A global cyber outage caused long queues in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez on July 19 as people wanted to cross into the United States.Signs leading up to the international bridge warned drivers that the extended waiting times were caused by a failure in the CBP system.An earlier software update by global cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, one of the largest operators in the industry, triggered systems problems that grounded flights, forced broadcasters off the air, and left customers without access to services such as healthcare or banking.Locals who walk or drive every day across the border from Mexico to the United States to study or work were heavily affected by the outage.Ciudad Juarez resident Ricardo Villagomez said it would usually take him between ten to fifteen minutes to reach the U.S., but today, it might be two hours or even more.
