Officials are still trying to figure out exactly what led to the Federal Aviation Administration system outage on Wednesday but have traced it to a corrupt file, which was first reported by CNN. In a statement late Wednesday, the FAA said it was continuing to investigate the outage and "take all needed steps to prevent this kind of disruption from happening again." "Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a damaged database file. At this time, there is no evidence of a cyberattack," the FAA said. The FAA is still trying to determine whether any one person or "routine entry" into the database is responsible for the corrupted file, a government official familiar with the investigation into the NOTAM system outage told CNN. Another source familiar with the Federal Aviation Administration operation described exclusively to CNN on Wednesday how the outage played out. When air traffic control officials realized they had a computer issue late Tuesday, they came up with a plan, the source said, to reboot the system when it would least disrupt air travel, early on Wednesday morning.

Given bureaucratic idiots, I’d say ineptness. Also how many cyber terrorists know Fortran 77?
Maybe they can pin it on Trump.
I’m not sure which one is more disturbing: The thought of a cyber attack or screwup.
I heard that Canada is now also experiencing the same problem. A dry run by China?
A ‘corrupt file’. Musta come from XiJinBiden. He is, after all, the epitome of corrupt.
If Trump were President it would be 24/7 of “it’s his fault-—people are dying because organs can’t be shipped-—and poor old grannies stuck at airports”.
Instead-—It’s not Biden’s fault. We need to spend more money to fix this-—
Screw up. Database corruption happens. Properly designed backup procedures make recovery a straightforward process. They apparently had an ongoing problem and didn’t detect it before it had gotten into the backups. Regular integrity checks would have caught it before it got out of control.
Yup—Canada is the “tell”.
This is obviously hacking—and .gov lying.
When .gov denies it you know it happened.
Guess we can rule out corrupt file.
Corrupt government, faggot Transportation Secretary, billions of wasted tax dollars, wokeism everywhere. What won’t go wrong? It ain’t gonna get any better.
Come on Man, this is a brave new world we live in, everyone is just going to have to learn to be a little more flexible and give up those rigid principles they live by. The very idea that you all expect high standards and competency is the real problem, not everyone can live up to those expectations, Deal with it!
A cyber attack usually targets the database.
I’m no tech geek, but shouldn’t the back up system have been a copy of the original program, kept in case there was a problem with the update, so they could revert back to the original? How could there have been a corrupted file in the backup then?
I have backups every day and then keep them for a week, and keep the once a month ones too, back for years.
Too bad simple logic is gone.
At this point, why would anybody believe anything the government says?
