FedEx 'Experiencing Interference' With Some Windows-Based Systems Due to Malware

FedEx, a multinational courier delivery services company, has claimed it experienced issues with its Windows-based systems due to malware in the wake of reports of the global cyber attack that affected institutions in 74 countries around the world.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — FedEx said on Friday it is experiencing some problems with its Windows-based systems due to malware like some companies in Europe and Asia, US media reported.
