Below: U.K. mail service faces a disruption, and the Guardian says the cyberattack that hit the U.K. newspaper was ransomware. People assuming that a cyberattack is responsible for any given outage is a growing trend, Shawn Henry, chief security officer at CrowdStrike, told me. Even if a cyberattack didn’t cause the FAA outage, the outage might in fact feed into those discussions. But maybe what’s needed right now in response to the FAA tech outage is simply an improvement to technology. The mail service is calling it a “cyber incident” and not a “cyberattack” and doesn’t know what was behind the incident.
