## Resource

The Air Force is scrambling to get its employees back online after scores of people were locked out of their computers last week. Computers across the service went into quarantine, a sort of protective shutdown that's routine as a cybersecurity measure both in and out of the military. But what's not routine here is the scale of people affected, and that at least some of them say they weren't warned in advance.
