Quote: The Biden administration is ordering federal agencies to fix hundreds of vulnerabilities in software and hardware that hackers have been known to exploit, according to a new government directive released Wednesday.
The first-of-its-kind directive, issued by the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, includes a list of vulnerabilities "that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise" with technical specifics that agency leaders are required to review and address within 60 days. Some areas will require a more immediate fix, according to CISA.... U.S. information systems have fallen victim to an increasing number of cyber attacks in recent years targeting schools, hospitals and critical infrastructure.... The directives do not apply to the Department of Defense or U.S. intelligence agencies.
The order is one of the most expansive federal cybersecurity mandates in U.S. history and it's the first requirement of governmentwide fixes that spans both online and internal systems, according to the Wall Street Journal."

AT andT, Verizon to delay roll-out of 5G to comply with FCC: ATandT and Verizon agreed to slightly delay plans to flip the switch on their new 5G spectrum on Thursday in order to comply w/ the Federal Aviation Administration’s concerns about how the deployment might affect cockpit safety systems..In a statement confirming the pause, the Federal Communications Commission—the agency which regulates telecommunications in the U.S. told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday that aviation safety and technology are “...“national priorities [if thats true, wouldn't all carriers have to delay 5G? People on planes have all varieties of cell phones]. https://gizmodo.com/verizon-and-at-t-agree-to-temporarily-delay-5g-expansio-1847999789; 4nov2021;9pm More on that:
Quote :The FAA bulletin said pilots should remind passengers to place any 5G device into airplane mode or switch them off during flight, and to notify the agency of any signs of interference.
The 5G spectrum is near radio signals used by radar altimeters, devices that measure how close an aircraft is to the ground. Radar altimeters are used on planes and helicopters for multiple critical safety functions, including landing when visibility is low, anti-collision warnings and systems that warn pilots when they inadvertently get too low. Some commercial helicopter flights can’t operate without a working radar altimeter."... RTCA Inc., a Washington-based nonprofit that studies technical aviation issues, in a report last year concluded that the potential for interference created a safety hazard. It found “significant impacts throughout the approach with the potential for catastrophic effects."

Is 5G the cause of this?:
Quote: "In early October, Southwest Airlines canceled nearly 2,000 flights, leaving thousands of passengers stranded at airports across the country. Later that month, Alaska Airlines announced that it was cutting some of its flights between two cities in November and December. Now, another major airline has just announced that it's dropping flight service to and from several cities over the next two months."
