Per this twitter link UA asked FAA for full ground stop systemwide due to an IT issue.

Full ground stop system wide...fun. Someone feed the hamster so he can run faster on the IT wheel LOL

Just to say this isn’t a minor delay. Expect to not go anywhere.

Breach meaning they were hacked?

We're taxiing to the runway at SFO and then this happens. Currently parked on the taxiway next to 01R/19L. We're 30 mins in and the Captain will give an update in another 30 mins.

At least the AC is blowing cold.

Pretty funny message from the FAA

UAL AND SUBS ONLY. IAD UAL SUB DEPARTURES STILL EXEMPT. UNLESS YOU HEAR FROM DCC FIRST, THEY ARE STILL STOPPED. ALL FLIGHTS REQUESTING OR CLAIMING EXEMPTION ARE NOT EXEMPT.
