American Airlines, United and Delta have asked the FAA for global ground stop on all flights, according to an alert from the FAA on Friday morning.

Plan A failed, is this Plan B?

Was not Microsoft, it was the Malware software.
Desktop MS Office programs save to the MS365 cloud by default and they make it hard to change that. It will revert on every update. I’ve got my PC at work set to keep a backup on the local HDD but it doesn’t work very well. I have one important spreadsheet I rely on daily but luckily I can recreate it in half an hour. Other people at work, maybe not so much.

Ironically, they've apparently been "hacked" by software that was supposed to prevent them from being hacked.

Ah, I think I see the problem ...
Distinguishing competent developers from incompetent ones by a test is a tricky proposition. The most relevant tests are probably puzzle-solving problems. Poorly constructed tests end up just quizzing people on minutiae that anyone can easily look up online.
Been hearing that since the 1970s...
