      This is like when I assumed my high school IT department was so good that I’d never be able to get past their content restrictions, but then renaming Halo CE to “explorer.exe” let me play all the games I wanted.

        I had FF3 broken up into a few files and renamed and disbursed through the school network so I’d just pull them all into a local file at the computer I was working at in the lab and play during class. I thought I was the shit.

      Are they? Because if the worm is successfully spreading… 🤷

      I’m not following. VBScript seems like the right tool. Why would they use something else? They’re generally light years beyond US defense capabilities so there’s a real dearth of suffering on their side.

      Now if the joke is that they’re suffering because they have to use VBScript, I can get behind that
