NSA Probes GPS Spoofing Attack Disrupting Delhi Airport Operations
Imagine the airport's navigation system, which helps planes know where to go, was tricked by a fake signal.
This fake signal, called GPS spoofing, caused a big computer problem.
Because of this problem, many flights were delayed at Delhi's airport.
The important office of the National Security Advisor is now looking into how this happened.
They want to understand the attack and make sure it doesn't happen again.
This incident also brings up questions about how safe our airport computer systems are.
A report from before had already warned about these systems not working perfectly.
The government is taking this seriously to protect air travel.
