In other news, it was revealed that the air traffic meltdown in the western United States last week was caused by a spy plane, according to the BBC. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said that a computer glitch caused flight tracking software to incorrectly track the plane, making it seem as if it was on a collision course with other airplanes. Hundreds of planes were grounded at Los Angeles International Airport when the system was overloaded as it tried to plot new courses for aircraft it believed to be at risk. The Pentagon confirmed that a U.S. Air Force U-2 spy plane had been conducting training operations in the area last week. And the most recent iPhone update, IOS 7.1.1, contains a passcode bypass that allows users to access, edit, and call any of the phone’s contacts without typing in a security code. It is unclear whether Apple is working on a patch for the glitch, according to Threat Post. Apple has also confirmed that a bug in the newest update prevents email attachments from being properly encrypted.
