Around 1,400 passengers of the Polish airline LOT were grounded at Warsaw's Chopin airport on Sunday after hackers attacked the airline ground computer systems used to issue flight plans, the company said.

The computer system was hacked in the afternoon and fixed after around five hours, during which 10 of the state-owned carrier's national and international flights were canceled and about a dozen more delayed, spokesman Adrian Kubicki said.

It’s only after incidents like these that people see JUST HOW MUCH we depend on computers.

What if we got an EMP and ALL computers didn’t work, permanently?

No cars, no medicine made and distributed, etc.

In a sick way, this hack is a blessing.

Right as Atlantic Resolve is winding down. Interesting.

It’s the danger of opening systems up to the internet.

Something I’ve preached against for years. To mostly those not listening.

Back in the good old mainframe days, we had most, if not all of our terminals behind secure doors.

And then things changed, for the better, and for worse.

You can’t say we (and our clueless leaders)haven’t been warned about life changing scenarios, but instead of being remotely concerned they at the media’s behest fret about LGTB, Redskins name and Confederate Flag. I remember Condi Rice after 9-11 stating we never thought they’d fly planes into buildings.
