  So United Airlines is shut down due to a computer glitch.    The stock exchange closed due to a computer glitch.     Wall Street Journal shut down for an outage.

  
  

  
  

  What is going on?

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Hours later we find out it was a strange coincidence but it' scary nevertheless. Imagine the sort of damage a coordinated multi-pronged cyber attack could wreak. 

  
  

  UA had a network router that malfunctioned and affected all network traffic.  The Wall Street Journal's homepage went down, likely due to internal technical problems.  The New York Stock Exchange was down for about 4 hours due to an "internal error - a technology glitch." 

  
  

  A malicious hacker could've easily caused a similar sh!tstorm, and on top of it taken down even more "critical" digital infrastructure.
