‘GPS Systems Will Be Struck By Y2K-Like Bug On April 6’: Security Expert Says He Will Not Fly On ‘Day Zero’ After Governments Warn Global Devices Will Reset Due To Calendar Glitch
GPS systems could be brought down next month due to a computer calendar error says information security expert.
An expert at the RSA 2019 security conference in San Francisco this week said he predicts a Y2K like computer error for older GPS systems to take place on April 6, in less than a month’s time.
