Hi this comic is alright. I read a bunch of it and now rereading it again after a while. I’m
probably not moderated but oh well.
Anyway, one thing that’s kinda bugged me is them talking about how everything is collapsing
because of a cyber attack, but is there really no records of everything. was everything
just uploaded to computers and nobody kept physical records of anything, that seems like
such a big oversight for even a fictional version of a government.
Also are both stories happening at the same time or different because it’s hard to tell
sometimes. thanks for making this.
I was thinking the same thing, I like the premise, but any organization above a certain size is
not only going to have the paper trail, but server backups as well, and the bigger orgs
would have off site backups as well as a disaster recovery plan. As long as the attack
didn’t damage hardware, do a format, install the OS, and recover from backups, and if the hardware
was damaged, swap out for fresh hardware, install OS and recover from backups. I’m not saying it
would be easy or cheap, but as long as the backups didn’t get hit, the attack isn’t setup
so that any new servers aren’t hit immediately and you still have WAN/LAN connections, it wouldn’t
be the end of the world, just a period of massive suckage.
Later in the story, it is told that all of the computers’ BIOS have been scrambled.
You can’t read from backups without a working BIOS, you have to physically
remove the chip and replace it with a clean one.
Among other things that come up later.
