Eventually all military comms will be jammed by people saying "Pog" after someone shoots something.

twitter didn't know how to stop the hack so they're stopping every verified account from tweeting. literally no blue check tweets to be seen at the moment.

hearing speculation that someone has figured out how to access the NSA's back door and that's what they are using. imagine using that kind of knowledge to steal some bitcoin. :hmbol:

The only hacking left in the world is stealing bitcoins. It is an extremely lame cyberpunk dystopia.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

im reminded of a book i read on stuxnet where the first tipoff that it was made by state actors was that it used so many heretofore unknown exploits there was no way it would be profitable to use them for a single scam

Anyone who got a security clearance in the UK in World War II had to agree to join the military. Alan Turing (IIRC) got around it because where the paperwork said, "Do you understand that by filling out this form you will be subject to military law", he wrote "no." His clearance got rubber-stamped.

In what loving way is it “electronic”? Because it has a LASER for aiming?

It uses a full‐power rifle cartridge for propulsion, so at most the electronic contribution there is for a solenoid to slam the firing pin into the primer cup.

I like how everyone in the video has their legs super close together and their arms tucked in. Wonder what that things does when someone is running, probably not work at all.

It would probably trip a running dude, but more importantly could knock some teeth out, or break some fingers, which is how it's really gonna be used. Oh or maybe as a garrot.

You use that poo poo to tweet from military people or politicians, dig up blackmail information on politicians, or whatever, and nobody will stop looking for you until they loving find you.

You use it to steal an easy hundred thousand bucks from a bunch of bitcoin-addled idiots, the authorities will write it off as "Eastern European hackers" and won't ever bother. Greedy criminals get caught.

Can't wait till someone does that again and instead of a lame bitcoin heist tweets from Trump's account about launching nuclear missiles at North Korea / China. Cause of the end of civilisation: blue bird meme site

Nah just keep it a bit more low-key so there aren't immediately news stories going around the world about how high profile Twitter accounts have been getting hacked by a buttcoin scammer.
