If one guy managed to do this then I suppose we have bigger problems.
The coincidence of these cyberattacks on aviation infrastructure with the H1-B visa kerfuffle (and the resulting rush for return flights due to poor guidance/communication from the gov) seems a little.. fishy.
Yeah, coincidence is not correlation I know. But there's a little voice screaming in my conscience about how two such large events occuring almost simultaneously couldn't possibly be unconnected.
Hey wouldn't it be crazy if a simfarm network was set up to blockbook then cancel a load of inbound/connecting flights, or just DDOS via resource hogging all of the major airline ticket sellers, due to how their booking systems function?
