United, Wall St Journal, NY stock exchange all with computer 'glitches' today

[psu00]

Pretty odd that all hit with "computer glitches" today. United grounded all flights nationwide for 2 hours. Stock exchange has been suspended the past hour. Odd day so far. Taking bets on Chinese hackers striking again?

Yep seems pretty odd that all those went offline at the same time. Sure does seem fishy.

Betcha Jared of Subway is involved somehow.

Perhaps not the best timing for Microsoft to announce they're laying off 7800 people.

Skynet has achieved self-awareness. It's over folks.

Probably all the systems had the same bug. Who knows... could be related to the leap second or todays date.

But China, probably is not involved is my guess. They have bigger concerns right now.

Thus the reason, perhaps?

United says it was a router issue and the NYSE is saying it isn't a cyber attack. So who knows but it is fishy and too much of a coincidence imho.
