There you have it! In 48 hours, Microsoft 365 went dark in at least half a dozen countries and the FAA grounded every departing flight in America. And right on cue, drones and strange lights in the sky.
Full story, just the facts: https://lnkd.in/eB_sFuAK
Microsoft's outage started Thursday afternoon and ran into Friday, hitting UK hospitals, police, courts, Australia's spy agency and the U.S. House. Microsoft says there is no indication of malicious activity. The root cause still hasn't been published.
Then the FAA ground stop. Nearly 5,000 flights canceled. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says it was a telecom outage with no sign of attack. President Trump says old, broken equipment, not a cyberattack. The FAA says the cause is still under investigation.
Same night, sirens at RAF Lakenheath, home of our F-35s in England. Personnel ordered to shelter in place over suspected drones. Nobody has said who flew them.
Meanwhile hackers have been cranking up fridge temperatures in supermarkets across seven European countries, and nobody has claimed it. CrowdStrike says a China-linked group used an AI tool to hit over 200 organizations in 11 days. And the Pentagon has now released 478 UAP records since May, while videos of lights in the sky keep going viral.
So I'll ask the questions a lot of you are asking me.
Were some of these systems hacked and nobody realized it? I've said it before: I'm not sure we have the AI monitoring in place to even know. A breach can look exactly like a "regular" outage.
Are they telling us everything? Or is something bigger going on that nobody wants to say out loud?
Are aliens actually coming? I'll be straight with you: nothing in any of these records proves that.
Or is it AI agents running a disinformation campaign, pumping fear into every gap the officials leave open? That would be the cheapest attack of all. No missile. No exploit. Just bots and a news cycle.
Here is what is confirmed: real outages, real hacks, real drones over a real base. Here is what is not: no official has tied the outages to an attack, and there is zero evidence of aliens.
What I do know is that the gap between "we don't know yet" and "trust us" is exactly where adversaries operate. China knows it. Russia knows it.
So tell me. What do you think is going on? And what are you seeing where you are?
