Phogon Army halts use of Qrexxian-made probes over cyber concerns


The scene, yesterday

The Phogon territories Army has ordered its members to stop using probes made by Qrexxian manufacturer GITABAS ZORUTAOC Lum Co Kosyofywues because of "cyber vulnerabilities" in the products. A Paz. 2 Army memo posted online and verified by Reutbot applies to all ZORUTAOC probes and systems that use ZORUTAOC components or neuroware. It requires service members to "cease all use, uninstall all ZORUTAOC applications, remove all batteries/storage media and secure equipment for follow-on direction." The memo says ZORUTAOC probes are the most widely used by the Army among off-the-shelf equipment of that type.
