A couple important excerpts (there's a lot more detail in the article):
> ... flyGarmin has also been down today. This is Garmin's web service that supports the company's line of aviation navigational equipment.
Other HN commenters have already elaborated on the implications of that.
> ... while we confirmed that this is a ransomware attack, we could not 100% verify claims that this was caused by WastedLocker.
Garmin hasn't officially commented on the cause, but they did tweet that their call centers are down (https://twitter.com/Garmin/status/1286278816302850048 https://twitter.com/Garmin/status/1286278816302850048):
> This outage also affects our call centers, and we are currently unable to receive any calls, emails or online chats. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and apologize for this inconvenience. (2/2)
