Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) reported that some airline reservations were affected by the recent technological disruption.

Additionally, some financial companies experienced minor impacts, which have since been addressed, restoring operations to normal.

The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship commented on the situation, stating that a malfunction in one of the global protection systems impacted many companies worldwide, particularly airlines, financial institutions, and cloud-based email systems.

The cause of the malfunction remains unclear, with no confirmed information on whether it resulted from a cyber attack or a technical error.

Preliminary information regarding Jordan indicates:

• No government systems have been reported as affected, as the global protection system in question is not used in government systems. Ongoing monitoring suggests no impact on individual institutions, though this is deemed unlikely, and no reports have indicated such impacts.
• In the private sector, the disruption has had no significant impact. A very small number of companies in the financial sector experienced partial and limited effects, which have mostly been resolved. Additionally, some non-Jordanian airlines' reservation systems were affected.

Given that the system is not widely used in Jordan, no substantial impact is expected in any sector.
