That’s downright scary :-) I think it took longer in the last Mission Impossible.

30 minutes is still pretty minimal for the kind of targeted attack it sounds like this is used for. I suppose we all need to work with our families on code words or something.

I went in thinking the article was a bit alarmist, but that’s clearly not the case. Thank for the insight.
