Buttigieg: ‘Not Prepared to Rule Out’ Nefarious Domestic or Foreign Attack on FAA Safety Alert System
Breitbart ^ | 01/11/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/11/2023 10:48:35 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that he can not rule out that the FAA safety alert system computer outage causing thousands of fight delays Wednesday morning was a result of a domestic or foreign attack.

Mitchell said, “We have seen domestic attacks on other aspects of our critical infrastructure, power substations. Are we absolutely positive this was not the result of any nefarious activity, either domestic or foreign?”

Buttigieg said, “We’re not prepared to rule that out. There hasn’t been any indication of that. The FBI has spoken to this, and of course, FAA is looking at that as well as they work to see exactly what was going on inside the files that were in the system leading to this irregularly. Again, what I would say is there’s no direct indication of any kind of external or nefarious activity. But we’re not yet prepared to rule that out.

Someone may have tripped on the cord for a key computer.
Could happen.

United Airlines, Arlington Heights, IL About 1985?

A plumbing leak in their underground operations center shut down a central computer that recorded maintenance data from all UAL planes.

ALL PLANES ON THE GROUND REMAINED, ALL IN FLIGHT TO REMAIN AT THEIR DESTINATION.

It took hours to re-boot the computer, a huge event and they had a dollars per minute cost on it; MEGA$$$

Remember back in 1985 everything ran on mainframes, most likely IBM mainframes, many of which were water cooled, so getting a nasty water leak shutting down a major computer was not unheard of.

On a side note, earlier today Buttigieg immediately said the problem has nothing to do with terrorism or hacking, before he even knew what the problem was, now he says it can’t be ruled out.

Voters in America elect Democrats who are too incompetent to govern.

Was it a cock up?

Or was it intentional?

Someone should get Deep State on the record on that one.

Could someone have snuck in the back door Pete? Maybe someone went around to the rear Pete? Hard to see that kind of attack Pete? Maybe someone reverse programmed it.......

And what is their reason for not having redundant systems?

Figure two or three systems, each able to handle the full load, geographically distributed so that something happening to one does not ground every plane?

I am shocked that Petey Butthead didn't tell us it may have been a "backdoor" exploit by as yet, unidentified hackers.

“A backdoor refers to any method by which authorized and unauthorized users are able to get around normal security measures and gain high level user access (aka root access) on a computer system, network, or software application.”

I’m surprised that Demonicrat Pervert Buttgig hasn’t tried to blame Trump for the FAA FUBAR.
