The fix is a software patch on most of the 6000 affected aircraft, but it still takes 3 hours to complete

On the one-year anniversary of CrowdStrike's disastrous crashes that took down millions of computers worldwide, a new study finds 750-plus hospital networks in the US were disrupted, and 200-plus appear to have had outages of patient medical services. www.wired.com/story/at-lea...

Wild story. It feels like the hacker didn’t hack their way in, but rather paid their way in.
Circa 2018, as the FBI was working on the El Chapo case, the Sinaloa cartel hired a hacker to track the movements of a senior FBI official around Mexico City, a newly released DOJ audit says. The cartel then user the info to kill potential FBI informants: www.cnn.com/2025/06/28/p...

The stunning new details offer a rare look at how technology can be exploited in the high-stakes battle between US law enforcement and the violent Mexican cartels that control illicit drug trade.
