Federal agencies are 'urgently investigating' whether the massive cellular outage that plagued Americans on Thursday was a cyberattack.
The Federal Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are on the hunt to track down what disrupted service AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and a dozen other cellular providers.
While the agencies have not shared details, a security expert told DailyMail.com that the outage has hallmarks of a hack.
Comment:
We are very dependent upon the internet nowadays.
A large internet outage can disrupt everything.
AT&T is saying that it is a maintenance problem.
Remember life before the internet.
