McDonald's blames global outage on third party (BBC)

McDonald's has revealed the technical problems which brought much of its fast food chain to a standstill on Friday were caused by a third party provider.

The international restaurant said the global outage happened during a "configuration change" and stopped stores taking orders in the UK, Australia and Japan - amongst others.

McDonald's stressed the issue was not caused by a cyber attack.

Stores in the UK and Australia are open again after their systems froze.

Those in Japan are reportedly also resuming trade after being forced to close.
