International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day in 2021

On this day in 1999, the CIH (aka Chernobyl) virus wreaked havoc on computer systems. It's most destructive payload would overwrite part of the BIOS, making vulnerable systems unbootable. The BIOS would have to be re-flashed, or the motherboard replaced to fix this problem. https://t.co/7saNlZ2as6

Today is International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day, and also the 35th anniversary of the disaster. @PresidentIRL is leading the charge in lighting a candle, and asking people to take a minute to do the same. ❤️ #Chernobyl35 https://t.co/7B480ywLGQ

I follow all the rules. We all should. But what the hell is this? a reporter OUTSIDE, the sun shining and she’s wearing the kind of kit you wouldn’t need on a visit to Chernobyl. Is this ‘scare the life out of our viewers’ day? https://t.co/x7DnSxChbo
