Cyber ​​weapons. Is it real?

This text is a transcript of my YouTube video. Link to the original video at the bottom of the article.





Humanity has used weapons since ancient times. The first weapons were stick and stone. From the very beginning, the main purpose of the weapon was primarily protection from predators, and then hunting. But later, the weapon began to be used for military purposes.





Each historical period was characterized by its own types of weapons. At the same time, weapons have evolved along with the evolution of society. Moreover, the evolution of weapons is almost always one of the aspects of the evolution of society as a whole.





Weapons are devices and objects designed to hit a living or other target.

Efficiency on user devices will be just as far from 100% as I said above - bugs will get fixed over time.





Therefore, for me, I doubt the effectiveness of such a weapon at a sufficiently high cost.
