Most of these impending doom technologies are less about doing whatever they say they’re supposed to do, and more about controlling people’s lives. Biometric facial recognition is supposed to be about preventing fraud, but it turns out it’s really easy to commit fraud against it.…
We still do not have any evidence for the endless claims that Russia does hacking. The US federal government did a years-long investigation into that claim, and came up with nothing. One thing we do know: Russia gets hacked. We know that because the US…
“The Man in the Virus Mask”: This photograph of Joe in his mask is really artistic and interesting. It looks a bit like it belongs on the cover of a 1930s crime novel. Bad news: the Russians hacked Joe Biden. Absolutely dastardly. Reuters : Microsoft…

A typical Islamo-hacker compound I just can’t even hardly take it anymore. Accusing these countries of hacking is EXACTLY THE SAME as accusing them of witchcraft. It cannot be proved either way and you just have to trust the person making the claim. But surely,…
Ransomware is leading to a lot of MAX LULZ and TOP KEKS, but we have to note: the entire American system appears to be completely unprepared for any form of cyberwarfare. Forbes : The City of New Orleans has suffered a cybersecurity attack serious enough…
The US government claimed Friday that the Iranians were hacking their mainframe. Straight up doing the cyber on them. Everyone knew that was a stupid hoax. But I seriously doubt the US retaliation was a hoax. CNN : US Cyber Command launched a retaliatory cyberstrike…
Future war is unlikely to be fought with traditional weapons. It is much more likely to be fought by hackers. Unfortunately (or not), the US has put all of their infrastructure online, which puts them at an extreme disadvantage in this kind of conflict. We’re…
