Rogers outage doesn't appear to be a cyberattack: government official

Maybe. They could also know exactly what happened and plead incompetence due to the outrage that would surely follow if it came out that Russia or China had done this deliberately.

I really do hope it’s garden variety incompetence that caused this, but if Rogers still doesn’t know how all their redundancies failed, I have to wonder if it’s because someone turned them off.

Of course, I don’t know anything about how this sorcery actually works - it could be as simple as “this is how an RBMK reactor core explodes”.

I honestly don’t know which is more disturbing.
