微軟Microsoft 365昨(13日)爆發全球大當機,影響旗下Outlook、Teams、Copilot等多項服務,造成全球企業、政府機關及教育機構使用不便。沒想到,微軟故障尚未完全排除,美國今(14日)又傳出罕見的全國航班停飛事件,一度讓外界懷疑兩者是否有關。不過,美國官方已出面澄清,兩起事件並無關聯。
微軟大當機近24小時 官方宣布大範圍恢復
這波微軟大當機從台灣時間13日凌晨2時左右開始,直到14日凌晨,災情持續將近24小時後,微軟才宣布根本問題已修復,服務正大範圍恢復正常,但部分地區及用戶仍可能遇到異常。

至於故障原因,微軟解釋,問題出在先前進行網路容量升級時產生的異常,並在近期一次網路變更後浮現,強調與網路攻擊或AI代理無關。微軟也已公開道歉,承諾後續公布完整調查報告。
微軟當機後 美國又爆全國航班停飛
就在微軟服務逐步恢復之際,美國聯邦航空總署(FAA)又因通訊系統故障,罕見下令全國航班暫停起飛。
FAA於台灣時間14日凌晨4點多發布全國停飛命令,所有準備起飛的航班都受到限制,但已在空中的飛機仍可繼續降落。直到當天上午9時多才宣布解除,整整停飛4個多小時。
這也是美國自2001年911恐怖攻擊以來,第三次出現全國航班暫停起飛事件,上一次發生於2023年1月。
據悉,美國高達9,124個航班延誤、5,901個航班取消。即使停飛令解除,仍有大量航班受到影響。
兩起事件有關?美國官方否認
由於兩起重大系統故障接連發生,引發外界關注是否存在關聯。不過,美國國土安全部長穆林(Markwayne Mullin)表示,目前沒有證據顯示FAA停飛事件涉及網路攻擊或其他國家安全威脅,也強調與微軟服務當機無關。
美國運輸部長達菲(Sean Duffy)則指出,這次FAA故障與老舊航空交通管制系統有關,部分交換器及路由器因資料量過大而不堪負荷,導致雷達與飛機通訊資訊出現異常。目前FAA已採取修復措施,航班也陸續恢復起飛,但通訊故障的完整原因仍有待進一步調查。

Xiaohongshu was suspended from analysis last year because it was involved in fraud and sent a letter to the Ministry of the Interior that "has been read and cannot be answered." In the one year since its implementation, the number of fraud cases and the amount of financial losses have dropped by 77.2% and 71.5% respectively. Because the industry has not yet improved, the Ministry of Interior is expected to extend the suspension of analysis for another year.
U.S. President Trump said that the failure of the U.S. air traffic control system had nothing to do with cyberattacks or artificial intelligence, and was suspected to be caused by old and damaged infrastructure. The FBI believes that the communication problem was not caused by a cyber attack or crime, and the investigation includes software updates. Multiple law enforcement and intelligence agencies activated a government-wide coordinated response mechanism and found no evidence of malicious attacks.

OpenAI officially launched the ChatGPT Wallet digital wallet, which allows AI agents to assist users in completing online shopping and payments.

On November 10, the Federal Aviation Administration announced the expansion of the deployment of the AI air traffic management system SMART to 22 control centers across the United States. Three days later, a nationwide flight suspension incident occurred. Officials have not yet confirmed a direct relationship between the two.

American startup Thinking Machines Lab opened the Inkling 2 Small model weight download on November 12. It is licensed by Apache 2.0 and supports up to 1 million token context and multi-modal input. The NVFP4 version requires at least 500GB GPU memory. Taiwanese companies and institutions still need to evaluate data security and risks for use.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a security alert on November 13, stating that the open source AI penetration testing tool ARTEX has been abused by hackers since August this year, attacking multiple industries such as finance, government, national defense, semiconductors, energy and technology. Some intrusions have obtained high-level permissions of enterprise cloud systems in less than 3 hours after locking the target. Taiwan's e-commerce SaaS platform provider 91APP has been attacked by ARTEX since October, which may affect up to 1,329 brands and about 4.8 million consumers, and some personal data may be leaked. The Cyberbiz e-commerce platform and a number of listed companies have also confirmed that they were hacked or had data leaked. The Ministry of Digital Development has issued an information security warning, reminding the public to beware of personal information fraud and calling on companies to check and fix vulnerabilities as soon as possible.
