McDonald's: Global outage was caused by "configuration change"

McDonald’s reported a global technology outage beginning around midnight CDT that disrupted point-of-sale systems and operations across multiple countries, including the U.S., U.K., Japan, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, and New Zealand; the company says the disruption was caused by a third-party provider’s configuration change—not a cybersecurity event—and that most markets are coming back online as remediation progresses.
