The problem is even more serious for Garmin’s aviation device customers. Pilots have told ZDNet that they are unable to download a version of Garmin’s aviation database onto their airplane navigation systems, which is an FAA requirement.

Cloud storage of personal data, what a terrific idea!

My ActiveCaptian data is working within the boat's network but I cannot access or update data from the Garmin network.

I'm not terribly affected as I can update programming (routes/planning) locally but no updates from the comfort of my laptop at home.

I wonder if Garmin’s Chief Info Security Officer was a music major like at Equifax??

Wouldn’t bother me one bit if russian hackers started dying under unusual circumstances.

I saw signs of my Garmin Connect restoring.   The past Connect Calendar is there again but this weekend's and today's data are not there.   Knowing how difficult it was to restore from lost data at Verizon (switch billing), I greatly sympathize with the Garmin Software and Support Engineers for what they have obviously gone through.   I fully expected to see missing data through this episode.
