So if you stand in Times Square with a boombox and play this song at full volume, does that constitute a cyber attack?

- scohesc 4y agoI'd consider it social engineering in this day and age. Who _wouldn't_ want to tell you all their encryption keys and passwords after listening to Janet Jackson? ;-)
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI suppose in the same way throwing a USB stick full of malware at someone would be, yeah.
- Bud 4y agoDisagree, I guess. Throwing a USB stick of malware at someone doesn't realistically serve the purpose of infecting their stuff with that malware. But playing this song in Times Square very much does have a realistic chance of breaking their hard drives, if said drives are old enough, etc.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI think it's actually more likely that someone will pick up a USB stick and infect themselves than they will be using a '88 5400 RPM hard drive in the vicinity close enough to be affected by the resonance.
