CrowdStrike outage sparks global chaos with airline, bank and other disruptions
A wave of IT outages swept across the globe Friday morning, causing thousands of flight cancellations and stalling internal and external systems across a variety of industries including hospitals, banks, stock exchanges and other institutions, as some Microsoft-based computers ceased to work. CrowdStrike -- an American cybersecurity technology firm that provides cloud workload protection, threat intelligence and cyberattack response services -- said the outage is not a due to a cyber attack; it was caused by a software issue that has been identified and a fix had been deployed. Some systems can be fixed and back up and running immediately -- but for others it "could be hours, could be a bit longer" before everything is back up and running, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz told CNBC in an on-air interview. For some customers, it will take more than rebooting systems to work through fixes. "CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted," Kurtz said earlier Friday.

'Lady in the Lake's' Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram on their special connection to the film
Of the many things Natalie Portman has done in her career, starring in a TV series hasn't been one of them, until now. She stars opposite Moses Ingram in the new Apple TV+ drama Lady in the Lake, premiering Friday. The show follows the very different lives of two women, one Black, one Jewish, in Baltimore in the 1960s — two very different lives that share some striking similarities. Portman tells ABC Audio that when this role came about she had been in the process of researching her family tree, leading to a discovery that gave her a special connection to the role. "I discovered ... the immigration papers of my family when they moved from Eastern Europe to Baltimore and the addresses where they lived in census data," she shares. "And walking into the Jewish deli that still exists after 100 years thinking, like, my great grandmother probably came here and bought her meat." Ingram is actually a Baltimore native, and noted show creator and director Alma Har'el "would have people from the community come and set up chairs and watch. And so we were all there together, you know. It was really beautiful."

During an appearance on Good Morning America Thursday, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy boiled the movie down to a "surprising friendship" between Ryan Reynolds' "Merc with a Mouth" and Hugh Jackman's razor-clawed X-Man. Levy says there's "definitely the action and the spectacle, but I think what maybe people are expecting a little less is the warmth of this movie." "Because it really was a movie made by friends about friendship," he continues. "You have these two characters who really don't match up in an easy way, but, eventually, through a lot of conflict, find something of a surprising friendship." Levy also said the film was "built for audience joy" and teased that fans can expect "huge surprises."

Hyundai recalls more than 50,000 vehicles for loss of drive power
Hyundai is recalling up to 54,647 vehicles due to loss of drive power from fuel pump failure, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall impacts certain 2019-2023 models of Genesis G70, Veloster N, Elantra N, and Kona N, the federal agency said. According to NHTSA, premature wearing of the fuel control valve in the high-pressure fuel pump "could allow excess fuel to enter the fuel pump and the air and fuel mixture can result in a reduction or loss of motive power at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash." Indications that there might be an issue include, "MIL illumination, lack of power, rough idle or misfire," according to NHTSA recall documents.
