My favorite was when we figured out the Russians were stealing our software used to run natural gas pumping stations. Rather than stopping them, we simply added a bit of code and let them have it. A bit later the largest recorded non-nuclear explosion occurred west of the Urals. Needless to say, the Russians were done stealing code after that. CIA director William Casey gets credit for that little stunt.

That was GOOD!!! I'd never heard that story, thanks!

“That was GOOD!!! I’d never heard that story, thanks!”

Any time. I remember hearing a report on it when the book came out. That is how you fight an enemy. You don’t want to be anywhere near a 3 kiloton blast, it’s only a bit smaller than Hiroshima.

Here’s some more on it.
