Fox’s @PDoocy: “So, when you say that you haven’t seen footprints suggesting a cyber-attack and nobody’s taking credit for a cyber-attack, have you seen any evidence specifically? Can you tell people who are watching, and don’t believe it, because we’ve seen Microsoft [go down]?”

@SecMullinDHS: “We have seen – we have seen zero evidence. We’ve seen zero evidence that this was – that this was a cyber-attack or an SI attack.”

Doocy: “So, then it must be something else. What is the other thing? What caused the instability?”

@SecDuffy: “So, it’s very easy. We have old, old switches, old routers. We use 1980s little copper lines. It’s an old system that went down and went down everywhere. It got overloaded.”

Doocy: “Can that be hacked?”

Duffy: “So – so, what we’re right now, we’ve opened up the airspace, we’ve got our centers and our tracons operational. It would be much. And I don’t want to rule out that we didn’t have nefarious activity here. That’s Markwayne and the cybersecurity team that works with us. We were able to deploy fixes to reduce the overloading on our – on our – on our switches that we’re able to bring the networks back online and our traditions and our centers back online. So, I think our fix gives us a pretty good indication that it was a legacy network problem that went down. And by the way, all of the new equipment that we put in, none of that went down. This is all the old legacy equipment that’s existed forever. By the way, none of your networks run on 1980 technology. You all got fiber, state of the art, high-speed networks that that cover all of your stations, but not the FAA. I think the American people deserve the same – same kind of network that you all use – the same kind of connectivity and speed that you all use. That’s what we’re asking the Congress to give us.”

A stray thought: Might an adversarial nation be putting on some sort of cyber demonstration these last few days?
