Nasty Mac ransomware doing the rounds

(linked from above, natch)
Wired

A lengthy--but horribly-entertaining--PROOF that:

1) Screw your arsenals of mere thermonuclear 'weapons' [As never could be used unless:
entire Planetload of Thinking?-meatware ---> went to Drumpf-IQ simultaneously).

2) Cyber-warz--WHEN they happen: shall render hors de combat the entire world 'civil'ization, in uncountable possible options: of un-recoverable aka Terminal ilk..

3) Throw in ∆-Climate as continuing-multiplier-Gotcha! ..and it's a Tri-fecta aka Doom.

Have A Nice Da(y)ze!
(Do we Really want-to-know in-Advance? the anatomy of any-old/new irresistible-Doom? moi doesn't).

La... La.. L-L-La.. ..somewhere Out-There / or In-Here ... all the Meat-ware extant--already has been Pwned by an Entity with macabre sense-of-Humour. I wot.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
