The websites of several US airlines, including American, Southwest, United and Delta — along with those of other companies and financial institutions — went down Thursday, hours after the summit between President Biden and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, where the two discussed ending cyberattacks.

In the second global internet outage in as many weeks, more than 1,000 user reports indicated problems at Southwest, with over 400 reports indicating the same for Delta, Reuters reported, citing website tracker Downdetector.com.

That number was about 300 for the other two US carriers.

Most of which come right out of the super secret underground lair HQ of the joint doh-j/fbi/dhs complex. At least according to Vlad. Who do you trust more? Vlad or pedo joe and his gaggle based on recent events.

And now we are locked into a childish foreign policy, or any hacker attack coming from Russia is assumed to be government directed. First of all, that requires excepting the word of the intelligence agencies that claim Trump was a Russian spy, and that the Boston bombers were not a foreign terrorist attack. These are the same intelligence agencies that called Mike Flynn a foreign spy and all swore to the Steele fraud.

I guess Pooty Poot took Biden’s list of critical infrastructure and trashed it.

Blaming the Russian government for every criminal ransomware attack would be like blaming the American government for everything MS13 does.
Meanwhile, Communist China stole literally all of our SF 86 forms, and has spies assigned to Feinstein, Swallwell, the governor of Georgia, Ducy in Arizona, etc. There’s no doubt it is a government activity, and all we get are crickets.

As usual, the biggest threat to world peace, and individual freedom in America is our own government.

I guess that part of the infrastructure just wasn't "on the list," eh, Xio?

It was apparently caused by problems at Akamai, which provides security infrastructure. Evidently, they straightened it ou in less than an hour.

So, what was this outage covering? What malware was planted? Was last week’s world wide FB outage a dry run?

American, Delta, Southwest, and United - the four largest airlines in the United States.
