Hack Attack

[Martin Hash]

If you travel through the former Soviet countries, you'll be constantly Messaged by massage parlors and local girls looking for dates, as you roam through their cell coverage. It's a neat trick: if I could have got the bus to stop, I would probably have had one of those “massages.” Like most people, whenever I can, I hook-up to the local Wifi, especially in McDonald's around the world, but also other presumably safe places, like national monuments. I was surprised to see free Wifi at an ancient, unkempt zoo in Myanmar, but was somewhat apprehensive considering how decrepit the place was. There were only a couple bars; hesitantly, I pushed the Join button. I tried to get email, spinning; I waited a minute, got scared, boinked out. Just-in-case, I powered down my phone, restarted, used my Data Service to check the Internet... Nothing seemed wrong, my phone seemed unaffected. However, later I noticed one of my Notes had gotten a recent timestamp, about when I tried that Wifi. Curiously, I looked at it. I'd only written the title of a new Tidbit, “Monks On Parade,” but a bunch more text had been added, almost readable English, probably written by a bot because it used unique words of mine like “Wysest.”
