Panic inducing sensationalism but still not something to be ignored. If factual, we won't need someone to launch the first bomb to end up in nuclear winter for the rest of our lives. Taking away the required governmental restrictions and reasoning from this process is what scares me most. ANYONE could have the power.

Neat little video.
Ironically, this kind of weaponized data has been predicted since the creation of the internet (and long before in a lot of sci-fi). I'm surprised that it actually took this long to get the point where the real world looks a lot like the world depicted in the film, "Hackers".
Should we be worried? Yeah, probably, but no more so than any other time since the Doomsday Clock was invented back in the fifties to tell us how close we are to nuclear armageddon.
It's the fact that Stuxnet went undetected for so long that makes me nervous. What else is lurking deep in the code of the "essential" tech that we use everyday, and just how safe is all our digitized data? That makes me nervous.
Oddly enough, I'm suddenly reminded of the end of the end of "Escape from LA"
I don't think any of that is scary, I think it's exciting.
Super well produced video spot and effects also. I love it.
