I want to tell you about a new danger - a fundamentally new hack method. Maybe this is not new and somewhere there has already been information about this - I don’t know, but I’m talking about I heard this for the first time and I could say I heard it first hand. Recently I was sitting and working in Windows Commander, and suddenly it popped up request "Delete the current directory Y/N?". Well, I obviously pressed cancel. Through a coupleMinutes again such a request. I'll cancel again. Then a transfer request pops up current directory to the next panel. Then for some reason Windows suddenly wanted go to the Internet (which I don’t have). Then you are prompted to format drive C. And so several times during the evening. I noticed that all these incomprehensible matters were accompanied by the blinking light of the table lamp. Computer I I turned it off out of harm's way and in the evening I rang another one who works at the nuclear power plant. I told the situation. He somehow hesitated and suggested meeting for a beer. For with a bottle of beer, he told me that at their nuclear power plants, from time to time, testing technology which consists in the fact that at a certain sequences of minor voltage surges in electrical networks can be simultaneously execute commands on multiple computers running from the city electrical networks. These experimental voltage surges are insignificant for other household appliances and do not affect their operation. This technology is just getting started they are tested at nuclear power plants and are of an experimental nature. I naturally I inquired about any uninterruptible power supply sources, why a friend answered me that in uninterruptible power supplies of foreign production, our specialists found defects intentionally left by the manufacturer, making these devices vulnerable to certain oscillation patternsnetwork voltage - a kind of backdoor implemented at the hardware level. To all my questions about how the same combinations of voltage fluctuations will operate in different software and on different systems, he shrugged his shoulders and said that this is just the beginning and research is now underway in this promising direction. So be careful! ================================================================================ Andrey
