The cause of the disruptions originated from a cybersecurity firm called CrowdStrike, which provides software to a wide range of industries. An update to one of CrowdStrike’s pieces of software, Falcon Sensor, malfunctioned, throwing a wrench into computers running Windows, leading to major tech failures around the world, the company said.
The outage started about 1:45am ET, with Nicktoons being down until about 4:45aam.
TeenNick (East Feed) started glitching about 1:19am ET during iCarly, and remained dark for about 20 minutes before returning, starting over where "iSell Penny Tees" glitched. The rest of the iCarly marathon was off schedule. Because of the 20-minute delay, all the remaining iCarly marathon was shifted down. After "iOMG" aired in full (ending about 5:57am, instead of the scheduled 5:36am), the last episode "iOwe You" only aired for its last 90 seconds (no intro or credits).
Other Paramount channels affected by the outage included MTV Classic, VH1, VH1 Soul, MTV Jams, and Logo.
Meanwhile, in Australia, Channel 10's news service went offline, with "humble news social team admins" uploading a homemade error image on their official X/Twitter account:
