McDonald's Corporation shared on Friday that, after a large number of its restaurants suffered computer-linked technical difficulties, "many markets are back online, and the rest are in the process of coming back online."
The company noted in a statement that the problem was not caused by a cybersecurity event, but by "a third-party provider during a configuration change." It further added that it is working "closely" with the restaurants that are still experiencing the issue.
"What happened today has been an exception to the norm, and we are working with absolute urgency to resolve it," the firm concluded.
