I recall Y2K <<BUG>>, but not virus. 1999-2001, it cost private parties untold Billions that were never reported.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/677320153240051712 …

@emptywheel Not so WRONG. In 2000, media poo-poo's it b/c most of damage was hidden. May even have contributed to vulnerability on "9/11" -
@FrancisJeffrey7 My dad told me it was coming in 1981. It was neither a bug nor virus. Just a laziness. -
@emptywheel AGREE: Y2K fluke was characteristic of the SiVa s/w industry that dodged all reasonable standards & accountability. (Still does)
