In America, there was a lot of chaos due to the sudden shutdown of the mobile networks of the customers of mobile service companies including AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
On February 22, thousands of mobile phone users remained without network for 13 hours due to a glitch in the mobile network. Due to this, discussion of cyber attack on America's mobile network also started.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio also expressed suspicion that the mobile network was shut down due to China's cyber attack and said that such a cyber attack could be carried out if China attacks Taiwan. I don't know why the mobile network was disrupted in America, but if China carried out such a cyber attack on America, the situation in America could become many times worse than it is now. China can disrupt not only mobile networks but also the banking system and water supply networks.
Meanwhile, AT&T company customers were most affected by the shutdown of mobile networks in America. 74000 customers of the same company had lodged a complaint about closure of mobile network. The effect of mobile network shutdown was seen in cities like New York, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle as well as Montreal city of Canada. Complaints were made by several police stations that there were problems with emergency call service.
AT&T company also admitted that there was a glitch in the mobile network but the network was restored by 2-15 pm. The company said that the mobile network was disrupted due to a mistake during the process of network expansion and the claim of cyber attack is false.
Meanwhile, America's Federal Communications Commission and America's Cyber Security Agency, along with AT&T company, have also started investigating the malfunction in the mobile network.
Due to the network being closed for 13 hours, people had to face a lot of trouble and people also vented their anger on social media. People also expressed concern especially about the security of mobile networks.
Meanwhile, a statement has been given by the White House that in the investigation of FBI and Homeland Security Department, cyber attack is not responsible for the disruption in mobile networks.
