U.S. military claims to be dropping 'cyber bombs' on ISIS

[Read the post]

My first thought on reading the phrase “cyber bomb” was to imagine a bomb that homes in on IP addresses. No way that could go wrong.[/sarcasm]

And that’s all the detail we have, which isn’t much.

Thanks, A for effort.

Wait, no. It looks like Reuters made up the part about “cyber bombs.” The US military didn’t say that.

I imagine these are the “cyberwarfare” versions of those multi-million dollar cruise missiles being used to blow up some insurgents’ beat up old pickup trucks.

‘Cyber bombs’ is a direct quote from Deputy Defense Secretary, Bob Work.

That is, it sounds like bollocks, but it isn’t Reuters’ bollocks.

I didn’t see that, but I agree about the bollocks.

Maybe they’re trolling the comment threads on their websites.

Ever noticed how news orgs always talk about something posted on “ISIS websites” but never ever link to the websites? I get why they don’t, but it seems odd to report on something as fact and offer absolutely no proof.

It’s a bomb filled with hundreds of AOL disks.

Alright, you load the AOL, I’ll get the VHS cassettes…

They won’t know what hit them.

They literally won’t. They’ll be looking at the AOL disks and saying, “What the fuck are these?”
