>>5646820>>5646831>>5646854>cyberpunk in modern setting without fantastical elements?>modern realism or near-realismI recommend looking up the real-life MITRE ATT&CK matrix for this. It is weird because it reminded me a bit of the Mike Pondsmith R Talsorian Cyberpunk ttrpg edition (cannot remember which one) that had all these "hacker" techniques that were sort of like wizard spells in cyberspace (just all capitals codenames something like FIREBALL etc lol) which you loaded into your hacker cyberdeck lol.
The most bizarre cyberpunk thing I saw a few days ago was this msft announcement pic related.

>Microsoft has shifted to a new naming taxonomy for threat actors aligned with the theme of weather. With the new taxonomy, we intend to bring better clarity to customers (...)basically Blizzard - Russia, Typhoon - China, Sandstorm - Iran, Sleet - N Korea, etc etc (see pic related for really weird hacker codenames full list) Also, the list of these codenames give The Flood from Halo a new meaning lol
This really confused me as I was searching for headlines on MSFT ATVI (Microsoft Activision Blizzard acquisition)
I was actually familiar with some of the old codes like APT(number) etc not sure why they changed it. Also the biggest secret unmentioned threat actor, the clue is in the name
>Microsoft categorizes threat actors into five key groups:>Nation-state actors (...)>Nation State Actor>NSAhehe
