Hacked?

The aircraft’s transponder suddenly shut off “for some reason that we haven’t yet determined,” Jeremy Huggins, a spokesman at Joint Base Charleston, told The Daily Mail.
Some speculated online that Chinese hackers had seized control of the aircraft and remotely flew the plane to Cuba, where China has established a military presence.
Iran hacked into an American RQ-170 stealth drone that was flying over Afghanistan and flew it to an Iranian airbase in 2011. Iran and China cloned the captured plane.
South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace raised questions about why such a sophisticated plane would just vanish.
Former Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein described the F-35 as a “computer that happens to fly.”
In 2018, Popular Mechanics published an article titled “The F-35’s Greatest Vulnerability Isn’t Enemy Weapons. It’s Being Hacked.” The article noted the aircraft’s Autonomic Logistics Information System, or ALIS, which keeps track of individual aircraft issues could give hackers the ability to hijack the aircraft.
“Every F-35 squadron, no matter the country, has a 13-server ALIS package that is connected to the worldwide ALIS network. Individual jets send logistical data back to their nation’s Central Point of Entry, which then passes it on to Lockheed’s central server hub in Fort Worth, Texas,” Popular Mechanics wrote. “In fact, ALIS sends back so much data that some countries are worried it could give away too much information about their F-35 operations.”
Clearly, all of this is just speculation...

She never got the address or the phone number. It Was not at all clear to me that an ambulance was en route. It just sounded like she was dithering, unsure of what to do.

This is what happens with pretty much all my phone-calls nowadays. Somebody has a form.
