What if someone wrote some code that ran on all of the Cisco routers that make the internet run? That would break it.

What if someone somehow wrote some code that scrambled all of the DNS and IP Addresses to that each no longer correctly corresponded to the correct domains/web pages etc. That would break it.

What is someone wrote a foolproof hack that turned everyone’s PC into a zombies or turned all of the ISP servers into zombies. That would break it.

I’m attempting to balance my checkbook online. That could break it.
