FAA acting CTO Rebecca Guy: "When we started to see the occurrence where our network was having instability, we started to look at what was the cause. We saw two places that were actually pinging our network at a very high rate -- 1,000 connections over every 4 to 5 seconds." (That sure sounds like hacking!)

It doesn't strike me as having anything to do with hacking. As I've pointed out on Twitter, it sounds very much like AT&T's big frame relay network outage back in '98. A poorly executed upgrade in one node that causes a cascade of spurious signals which overwhelm the rest of the network.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed the corporate media making anything of the fact that Markwayne Mullin, Senator, voted against the bill that had the funding they're trying to blame the Democrats for. On top of that, I was also unaware of how many layers of "reality" TV nobodies that Trump had a man-crush on in this story, it's not just Trump and Sean Hack-Duff. It should be against the law for anyone who was on 'reality" TV or in a beauty pageant or in full contact sports to be in government.
