Test run related to Cyber Polygon?

Been seeing a lot of chatter expecting something going down in the August-October timeframe (and no, not about Trump being reinstated).

Deep State getting some practice in.

App content and redirection services we use are impacted hard right now. I’m in the banking/financial services sector. Impacts our clients trying to access their accounts, etc.

You don’t think we need contingency plans in the event the people who overthrew our republic plan on keeping what they stole?

Everybody uses the same services. Same thing happened a decade ago when Google Analytics went down. Bolts fall out, it’s an imperfect world.

Ah, I remember the olden days when we had to run FR on smoke signals. Bandwidth was a little slow. No cat pix. :-(
