The global company, Crowdstrike, has said that the cyber problems that occurred on Friday around the world are the result of a "glitch" during the update of its system.

This company creates software to fight computer viruses.

Crowdstrike has said it is constantly working with consumers.

"Mac and Linux systems are not affected. This is not a security incident or cyber attack. The problem has been identified, isolated and is being worked on," the company said in a statement.

Many major airlines in the United States have canceled flights, citing communication problems, while other media companies, banks and hospitals in many countries around the world have reported that they are having problems with their computer systems and that their work is being disabled.

In Kosovo, the Electricity Supply Company of Kosovo (KESCO) has announced that since the morning it has been encountering difficulties in carrying out work due to the collapse of the computer system.

She has mentioned that her problems are related to the problem that many companies in the world have reported, related to Crowdstrike.

Some citizens in Kosovo have told Radio Free Europe that around 9:45 a.m. on Friday, they were unable to withdraw cash from some banks in Kosovo. But later, around 12:00, the ATMs started working.

The National Cyber ??Security Unit - the state body for maintaining the security of networks and electronic communications services in Kosovo - has said that the incident causes problems during the restart of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

"In case of this problem, according to the technical instructions proclaimed so far, it is necessary to delete the 'files' 'C-00000291*.sys' from the directory 'C\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike' in Save Mode", said this body through a post on "Facebook".

As for other countries:

In Croatia, it is reported that the Central Health Information System has gone down.

Police in the US state of Alaska have reported blocking the emergency line - 911.
