Or safeguard nuclear weapons. America's nukes got hacked literally the same month they proudly announced that they had modernized away from floppies. You'd think that'd be more newsworthy than a couple public housing applicants in Japan having their privacy invaded but nope. https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/#footnote6 https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/#footnote6

> America's nukes got hacked literally the same month they proudly announced that they had modernized away from floppies. You're conflating two entirely different things. US nukes were not hacked, that's a massive exaggeration. "Shaylyn Hynes, a DOE spokesperson, said that an ongoing investigation into the hack has found that the perpetrators did not get into critical defense systems." "They found suspicious activity in networks belonging to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories in New Mexico and Washington, the Office of Secure Transportation at NNSA, and the Richland Field Office of the DOE." https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/17/nuclear-agency-hacked-officials-inform-congress-447855 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/17/nuclear-agency-hack...
