Does Iran's propaganda video qualify as #cyberwar? Discuss.
I'm ready for the Cyber Draft !
Hope I don't get disqualified due to carpel tunnel. 4F
We were told #cyberwar would obviate the kinetic warfare we've known since time immemorial.
Our #prophets worldwide assured us all gruesome human-based combat was being replaced by cyber attacks.
Clean. Sterile. Digital.
Presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole ran in 1998 on this fear of cyberwar.
omg I almost forgot today is the 34th anniversary of the Michelangelo computer virus attack that was (ahem) #predicted to destroy 5 million PCs — a sizable percentage of the Internet back then — only for it to flop miserably during live TV coverage with embarrassed news anchors 😒
I remember when W.O.P.R only cared to replicate every possible Global Thermonuclear War
The global #cybersecurity community spent decades building up its social media comradery, from BBSs & CompuServe to email lists & RSS feeds to Twitter & Reddit —
— and Elon & Trump #destroyed that comradery in just six years, all while eviscerating CISA for fun #ChangeMyMind
"Yes, Rob Rosenberger, Vmyths. It's 2026, so… How much #cyber was involved in these shootdowns?"
I don't know what made me think of this 1981 flop that I watched in a Chicagoland grind house but it's somewhat remarkable for its views of today. And you'll notice it shuns #cyber in favor of morse code:
#UmActually, the story begins with me. 😒
In 1988.
When Ross Greenberg & I wrote the "Computer Virus Myths treatise" to dispel every #Myth, #UrbanLegend, #Hoax, #AprilFool, #PublicityStunt, #Overhype, and #Hysteria that continues to infect our mindset…
In the early '80s, a Russian submarine grounded in a complex fjord near a Swedish naval base. The Swedes' diplomatic team laughed in the faces of the Soviet delegation every. single. time. they tried to explain it! 🤣
Oh, and the Swedes brutally pranked the enlisted sailors aboard. I mean BRUTALLY.
I like my cell plan but I'm not going to be their unpaid intern
Fam, you got any of those floppy discs with a virus collection? I want to test an 8086 CPU 😏
I'm just thinking about the math it will take to hide legit pizza spikes in an artificially random spike sequence
I imagine Air Force #cyber warrant officers will negotiate 7-figure incomes with keyboard warfare bonuses and perks like FOGO quarters plus a health care package to die for (your country)! 🫡⌨️
This machine prints sodas #ChangeMyMind
BREAKING:
Casey J. Dunlevy has "verbally confirmed" malicious AI-powered #hackers who mine crypto for the Barzini Mafia crime family remotely killed Robert Duvall using a #SCADA cyber-terror attack while he lay helpless in a hi-tech hospital bed!
The cybersecurity industry shrugs when medivac airframes can't fly due to weather or layoffs or top secret lasers.
But man oh man, if a bored 14yr-old defaces an airport's website, we all collectively weep on the nightly news for the "million patient deaths that could have been prevented…"
I hate clicking a ❤️ for things like this, I just want to congratulate you for passing it along
Does billionaire #antivirus mogul Eugene Kaspersky appear in the #EpsteinFiles?
The #moron Columbus died probably not knowing he'd discovered a new continent… But there's a telltale question as to why he consulted Caputo's round-Earth charts to predict the famous lunar eclipse that saved his life, given the fact Columbus's charts show Earth shaped like a pear.
We were told for HOW MANY YEARS? to watch out for a #cyber-attack on our critical voting infrastructure. That it was RATC. That it would happen RSN. That it was OAMOT.
Does this qualify as a #cyber attack? Discuss.
Your whiskey impacts your grammar. May I try a swig? 🥃
It's 2026. Can we at least conquer an island nation using the terrifying awesomeness of #cyberwar?
