Cybersecurity
Lawmakers are having a hard time swallowing the idea that major stock exchange, a global airline and a prominent media outlet coincidentally suffered major outages on the same day. The New York Stock Exchange halted trading for roughly four hours Wednesday, and United Airlines had to ground all its flights in the morning, both citing technical problems as the culprit. And shortly after the stock exchange went down, the homepage for The Wall Street Journal crashed. The Obama administration said there were no signs the outages were caused by nefarious outside actors, but lawmakers were having a tough time buying it could all be a coincidence, and are vowing to look into the matter.
