The suspected hackers have breached US water infrastucture before – and CISA has just warned their targets are expanding.
In at least one city, the attack temporarily knocked a municipal well and water treatment plant offline, according to local media outlet MPRNews.
Other communities reported the attacks disrupted communications and automated operations, forcing staff to switch to manual workarounds while systems were restored, the news outlet said.
Y’know, one could argue that was more effort than my relatively silly comment deserved. You really put in the work and for that I salute you. Truly a top-shelf comment.
I do think most of the nicknames there are pretty lame, to be honest. Satan Hussein doesn’t even really make sense. Bibi the Butcher is almost more of a pejorative title than a nickname, and I prefer that in general. This is a very specific reference but, in the Expanse novels and tv series, calling Fred Johnson ‘The Butcher of Anderson Station’ feels more impactful to me than calling him Bled Toxin would. I think when someone refers to Trump as the ‘Orange [bad thing]’, for example, the intention is to make the criticism hit harder but it usually has the opposite effect on me. That is purely personal preference though. Feel free to nickname to your heart’s content if that’s your preference!
Beelzebibi is my favourite, personally. It’s both pejorative and funny. It’s also really fun to say out loud. Great stuff.
Dear fellow Lemmy-er: that was brilliant! I appreciate your insightful views and I decided to immediately make a second edit as per your brilliant suggestion. Moving forward, I’ll be using Beelzebibi!
Please accept my up-vote and have a good day. Thanks so much!
