The Super Bowl Blackout Wasn’t Because Of Hackers


Remember when the lights went out at the Super Bowl this year? Good times. We were so young and carefree back then. An investigation into the event has just ruled out the possibility of the blackout being caused by hackers.

The investigation is still ongoing, but the power company responsible for powering the Superdome at the time of the blackout has said that there was no internet or remote access to the equipment that would have caused the blackout.

Bloomberg in an interview with the power company today said:

After a thorough and extensive review of our equipment and operating systems, Entergy has ruled out the possibility of the power outage being caused by a cyber event.

Now the only person left to blame is Beyoncé. Stupid, sexy Beyoncé. [Bloomberg]
