My Way News - Bad day for geeks: Tech disruptions plague United, NYSE, WSJ
My Way News reports: "It was a rough day for tech: The nation's biggest airline, its oldest
stock exchange, and its most prominent business newspaper all suffered
technology problems that upended service for parts of the day.
Government officials said that it did not appear that the incidents were
related, or the result of sabotage, counter to an endless stream of
jokes and conspiracy theories posted on Facebook and Twitter — and even
the suspicions of FBI director James Comey."
Comment: Chalk this up as a rumor of war - cyberwar. It may well have been a coincidence that these glitches all happened on the same day, but it's also a good warning that we need to be more prepared. By all accounts, cyberattacks happen every day on a much smaller scale, but experts say it's only a matter of time before vital systems are hit.
