Is this a real thing or not. My wife is supposed to leave for Phoenix at 3 p.m. today. A couple hour drive to the airport for us. So four hour round trip I don’t want to make it flights are canceled.

Friends of ours flew out on Sun Country successfully yesterday but not sure about the situation today.

It's on their website. But if it's important to you, I would suggest trying to get information directly from the airline, rather than GopherHole. ;)
 

Great. Have a flight back to Mpls for tonight. I hate Sun Country.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Log4j.

Nightmare before Christmas: What to know about the Log4j vulnerability

Log4j is a programming code written in Java and created by volunteers within the Apache Software Foundation to run across a handful of platforms: Apple's macOS, Windows and Linux.

Not good. 😐



Deputy National Security Advisor Anne Neuberger said Thursday that a "small number of government systems," have been affected by the Log4j vulnerability, with that number expected to grow in the coming days.

"My view is we are going to see widespread exploitation by all manner of threat actors, and likely impacts on both public and private infrastructure. We're doing everything we can with our partners to get ahead of that," Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Jen Easterly said in an interview with CNBC, Thursday.

"These are products that are used by every major organization around the world," Goldstein told reporters Tuesday, referring to the Log4j library. "And so, it is likely the case that federal agencies are indeed utilizing some of these products that have the embedded vulnerable library."

U.S. officials said that no civilian federal agencies had been compromised as of Thursday night, but noted that visibility into network systems remains an ongoing challenge.

On Friday, CISA ordered federal civilian agencies to immediately fix or "patch" vulnerable systems. The new memo replaced a previous mandate requiring federal agencies patch by December 24th, a deadline many cybersecurity experts worried was too late.

The agency spearheading the U.S. government response has also published a growing catalogue of potentially impacted products to crowdsource affected software products and eliminate misinformation spreading online.


How does this hack compare to Solarwinds?​

While both attacks came around the holiday season and have garnered a lot of attention, they differ in sophistication and scope.

"With SolarWinds, we had a targeted supply chain attack by a highly sophisticated, specific adversary intended to compromise specific organizations to achieve popular objectives," Goldstein explained. "What we have here is an extremely widespread, easy to exploit and potentially highly damaging vulnerability that certainly could be utilized by adversaries to cause real harm."

"From a magnitude perspective, the [Log4j vulnerability] is astronomical compared to SolarWinds," Ostrowski told CBS News. "It's not just a software package that corporations are using. It is a software code that us as consumers – you and I – use every day. It's an open-source piece of code that everybody has access to."

What's next?​

On Thursday, the White House sent a letter to CEOs warning them of the increased risks of cybersecurity attacks during the holidays, a time of year when business operations often rely on skeleton staffing.

Cybersecurity experts remained concerned that malicious actors will exploit the vulnerability to target less-resourced small and medium sized businesses, schools and hospitals including victims that may not be aware of the risk.

"What we learn today versus what we knew 24 hours ago are much different. That's how quickly this is evolving," Ostrowski said. "So our doomsday is thinking about, 'What's next week going to look like?'"
 





Delta having issues last night and today too. Pilots…mechanical issues.

We did get down here last night via SunCountry. 3 hour delay, but we’re able to and at least are here.

How dare you say that! This site is loaded with people who don't need to rely on a doctor to make a medical determination as to what is wrong with football players.

In addition, this board is loaded with qualified IT people who have no computer training for the most part. Why is that needed? Gopher Hole, the place to go to get all your questions answered in a timely fashion!

Who the hell needs training to ask if you have restarted your computer?

Hey now, I actually kind of like Sun Country; flying into Humphrey instead of that f'ng Lindbergh terminal is worth it for me. I just wish SC hadn't dumped their first class seats a year or two ago. They always had super reasonable first class.

As far as this recent SC hiccup, my buddy's son (staying in my house while going to school) and his GF flew in here last night from MSP and while their flight was about 3.5 hours late getting out, they did get here.
