Meanwhile. Second bit of text in the article.
The cause of the problem, which delayed thousands of flights in the United States, was unclear, but U.S. officials said they had so far found no evidence of a cyberattack.

Muh Russia
Fuck off dude.
If it were a cyber attack would they let a foreign state actor know that their intelligence efforts to crash out infrastructure through official and unofficial action were successful?
If it were a foreign attack confirmation by the US wouldn't be necessary. You hack a thing and the thing goes down, you know it goes down regardless of the government saying it was foreign or not.
Depends on whether they outsource to third party contractors to fuck shit up with plausible deniability.
