Boeing IT outage disrupts production across US factories

Boeing suffered an unplanned IT outage on June 30 that significantly disrupted commercial and military production at facilities from Washington to Florida, largely halting final jet inspections and delivery paperwork on the last day of the second quarter - typically when Boeing hands over as many airplanes as possible to boost results. The company said the cause was understood and that it had no reason to believe the outage stemmed from a cyberattack, with its IT team working to bring systems back online. The disruption landed at a sensitive moment as Boeing pushes to stabilize and ramp production.
