As of 06:24 US Eastern the appears to no longer be true. There is a NOTAM outage but no full ground stop is mentioned, just a few specific due to weather. Edit: obviously a developing situation, see responses to this comment for current advisories.
Clearly still developing; we'll see.
Are 2020s the years where the cold war is back as a lukewarm war, and also all of NA aviation needs to reconvene with its decrepit software? Next plot-twist, it was all ready to blow, but ultimately triggered by Russian/Chinese/North Korean hackers. Ok, taking off my tinfoil hat. Still, maybe I'm suffering of nostalgia bias but the last few years really make for a lot of prime source material for docudramas.
Forensic analysis will reveal that there were multiple hidden failures over the past years that were covered up by foreign hackers to ensure their backdoors were not revealed in an in-depth investigation.

Edit: Of course as I was typing that, Advisory 028 pops up with a nationwide ground stop until 9:30 Eastern: "GROUND STOP ALL FLIGHTS / ALL DESTINATIONS EXCLUDES MILITARY AC AND MEDEVAC FLIGHTS"

Any source for the claim of a ground stop? I see plenty of flights still taking off.
GROUND STOP ALL FLIGHTS / ALL DESTINATIONS EXCLUDES MILITARY AC AND MEDEVAC FLIGHTS DESTINATION AIRPORT; ALL FACILITIES INCLUDED: ALL GROUND STOP PERIOD: UNTIL 1430Z REASON: EQUIPMENT OUTAGE REMARKS: US NOTAMS SYSTEM DOWN
ATC can tell pilots what they need to know, right?
