Hi, /u/goretsky,

In 1983, David Lightman used an IMSAI 8080 to perform a war dialing attack on a range of phone number in Sunnyvale, CA and ended up accessing a NORAD supercomputer, WOPR (War Operation Plan Response). He ended up kicking off a simulation of Global Thermonuclear War that triggered an actual Threat Response scenario at NORAD who thought actual Soviet nuclear missiles were inbound.

Do you think a scenario like this is still possible given current day cybersecurity enhancements?

Do you play any video/board/rpgs? And if so, please regale us with your most epic adventure. Bonus points for mentions of Lexxxington Slade, most epic fighter in all the (ork)lands!

I'm not in any campaigns right now.

SAY WHAT?! The Calamitous Intent Adventuring Company would beg to differ!
