(Bloomberg) -- London Stock Exchange Group Plc said it has resolved an issue with its RNS service that prevented news from being published on its website.
“Following the earlier third-party technical issue, RNS service has been restored and is now operating normally,” the exchange giant said in an emailed statement.
RNS is the main venue that UK companies use to make regulatory news announcements. The service processes about 350,000 announcements a year, and 75% of all price-sensitive news originates on the service.
The RNS outage came after a botched update of a widely used cybersecurity program owned by CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. took down Microsoft Corp. systems. CrowdStrike Chief Executive Officer George Kurtz said that the fault had been identified and “a fix has been deployed,” adding that it wasn’t a cyberattack. The issue hit health-care systems, airlines and companies including McDonald’s Corp.
