The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop for all planes due to take off in the US, delaying and canceling thousands of flights
The US Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the nationwide halt to departures and delays to landings at all US airports that began at about 4pm ET on Friday was caused by “a temporary telecommunications outage”.
“Every flight has been accounted for and international flights will be handled on a case by case basis,” the FAA added.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights that are due to take off in the US on Friday, delaying or canceling more than 11,000 US flights, according to aviation tracker FlightAware.

U.S. authorities have seized or restrained more than $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency stolen during Binance's $6 billion October hack, which the FBI attributes to North Korean military-linked hackers known as "TraderTraitor." The DOJ also said it disrupted infrastructure behind the "FaceStealer" deepfake scam, blamed for stealing more than $400 million in cryptocurrency. CNBC reports: Collective efforts between the U.S. government and private sector have resulted in more than $2.7 billion of that amount being frozen. [...] The DOJ said it was taking coordinated action against what it called the North Korean government's "schemes to fund its regime through the massive theft of cryptocurrency." That includes "the court-authorized seizure and restraint of more than $1.2 billion worth of cryptocurrency recently stolen from Binance," it said. DOJ units, law enforcement partners and virtual asset service providers have been working to intercept the stolen assets. But efforts to track and freeze the assets are ongoing, as TraderTraitor actors continue to launder them through various cryptocurrency channels.
Authorities have also seized cloud-based infrastructure used in a massive identity impersonation scam known as "FaceStealer," which has seen more than $400 million worth of cryptocurrency stolen over 18 months, the DOJ said. The scheme sees hackers set up fake video meetings using stolen accounts and recordings of people known to the target by using AI-generated deepfakes. The hackers then say a technical problem requires a fix, install malware on a computer and take over the victim's communications, steal their cryptocurrency and target their contacts -- sometimes months or more than a year after the initial compromise.

Mozilla is shutting down Solo, its AI-powered website builder and hosting service, on November 30. A notice on the Soloist.ai homepage reads: "We've made the difficult decision to close Solo. We have appreciated all of your support building and growing this product, and the feedback we've received from all of you. Solo will cease operations on Nov 30, 2026." The Register reports: Mozilla launched Solo in December 2023 as a "Mozilla Innovation Project," aimed at helping sole traders to build themselves a webpage for their services. Some 54,000 people used its LLM to build pages, and relied on Mozilla to host them -- complete with custom domain names. Users now have just over two weeks left to find a new home for their pages, although Mozilla says it first notified them on October 1. According to the support FAQ, users can download a ZIP containing an HTML export, contact form and newsletter submissions, and a CSV linking to their images. The images themselves must be downloaded separately. Domains purchased through Solo Domains must also be moved to Name.com, with Mozilla handling the transfer after users create an account and supply its code.

NASA scientist's chance Moon discovery reveals once-in-a-lifetime crater.
Wider and about as deep as the Roman Colosseum, researchers believe the newly-discovered McGetchin crater was formed after a powerful surface impact in 2024.
The US Federal Aviation Administration on Friday issued an advisory that prevented the takeoff of flights in US airspace for around five hours, creating chaos for travelers and airports. The stop was finally lifted around 8:30 PM Eastern Time, but only after thousands of flights were canceled or delayed, leaving travelers stranded. The FAA has not yet confirmed a reason for the stop. Original story below: "The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers," said US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a statement. "FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them." A spokesperson at the FAA press office reached by phone said he was unable to provide further information. And an email response from the agency repeated Duffy's statement. The FAA ATCSCC advisory halts departing flights and says international flights will be dealt with individually. The notice says, "Due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety. Attention all aircraft operators, by order of the Federal Aviation Command Center all airports are ground stopped. All departing traffic should remain stopped until further notice. Inbound international flights will be managed on a case by case basis." Doug Yakel, public information officer for San Francisco International Airport, said, "FAA confirms nationwide ground stop, other reporting indicates a communications issue between Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs). Aircraft already enroute to SFO still landing here but departing aircraft not taking off right now." An update issued at 2:02 pm PT described the problem as "a temporary telecommunications outage." The FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) is managed by L3Harris. The network provides secure communication between more than 4,400 facilities. The grounding follows on the heels of a major Microsoft outage that has affected many Microsoft-hosted services, particularly email, for more than 24 hours so far. There's no indication presently that the two incidents are related. We'll update this story as more information becomes available.® Updated at 0211 Saturday UTC to reflect the lifting of the ground stop. Updated to add at 2353 UTC CBS News reports that “an update to the private communications network that connects America’s air traffic control system caused the system to reboot. When the FAA’s telecommunication infrastructure rebooted, it crashed, causing the communications outage. The system is operated by L3Harris.” L3Harris has not responded to a request for comment. Updated to add at 2340 UTC Air Space Intelligence (ASI), awarded the FAA’s $875 million, 12-year contract for its new Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories (SMART) system, has issued a statement asserting that its products played no role in the FAA’s flight suspension. “The current ground stop is not based on or a result of the SMART system, any product of ASI or our integration with FAA and ATC,” the company said.
