An explosion at a chemical depot on Terra has released a vast cloud of poison gas across Europe. The incident is being put down to sabotage after a computer went haywire following a cyberattack. Sixteen workers were killed and dozens affected by the cloud of gas, some fatally. The UNP is under pressure to cut it's communication links with other powers though DDS Communications say this will not prevent the attacks.
"The Bolitic likely have hacker teams already in the UNP or tap into the communication links from ships in our space." a spokesman said. DDS Research's Info-Warfare Team is currently working on "interceptor viruses" which will combat Bolitic cyberattacks however Dr Forbidden says the DDS are years behind the Bolitic in this kind of warfare "If we have the Sopwith Camels then the Bolitic have the F-45Cs." he said to reporters.
