This is not exactly a joke, but these seem relatively on topic as humor: Monzy - Kill Dash Nine [VIDEO] Googlers - Write in go [LINK]

I agree, but [LINK] is about at least seven dozen people from three of the five eyes on one side, and someone who was infamous for "hacking" Tony Blair and Uscentcom on the other, yet nothing in any of the articles suggests anything much more technical than social engineering[1]. (Indeed, the story as written does have Hollywood MacGuffin floppy disk written all over it, in that I'd find it implausible that, even in a war zone, no one kept anything on-prem, or at least backups? At least performing a "kill -9" via Hellfire missile does upstage Stanford gangstas [VIDEO] .) [1] Compare [LINK] and remember that the case of TFA starts in 1974 with social engineering via "Nadia." I'm pretty sure the Arthashastra mentions social engineering via thirst trap, and [LINK] has a similar story. Then there's [LINK] 's account of deradicalisation via honey trap. Q. How did Adam and Eve anticipate the twenty-first century? A. They failed to read Apple's Terms & Conditions and got in trouble for misunderstanding the Privacy Policy.

To be fair nerdcore doesn't attract chorus lines: [VIDEO] Closest I can get to HN ⋂ dancing is 1:34-1:48 in Virus' "You should ask" (where the video is about the difficulty of source attribution on a LAN, let alone an entire internet) [LINK]
