Yeah that's not really the case here.

This issue is a potential data corruption issue caused by "intense solar radiation". You know, from the the massive solar storm recently that caused the aurora to be visible much further south than normal. Intense solar activity causes corruption issues like this with computers all the time. Most of the time, it's mitigated by various systems that verify and check for corruption automatically, most servers use error correcting memory for instance, but nothing is perfect and strong solar storms are unpredictable.

The fix is reinstalling the software to ensure it's not corrupted. For most of the planes it's going to be an overnight fix. The issue will be the planes that aren't at large hub airports with full maintenance and support systems.

You must be fun at parties.
