There is no sign of a cyberattack “at this point” in the computer problem that triggered US authorities to pause all domestic air travel departures, the White House says, adding that US President Joe Biden has been briefed.
“The president has been briefed by the secretary of transportation this morning on the FAA system outage. There is no evidence of a cyberattack at this point, but the President directed DOT to conduct a full investigation into the causes. The FAA will provide regular updates,” tweets Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, referring to the transport department and federal aviation authority.
