Be careful with spreading unsubstantiated rumors during a difficult crisis. It does not help. Cyberattacks are an unlikely cause behind the power outage in Spain, as I say to @elpais.com. elpais.com/economia/202...

Folks are rightly concerned that the HHS effort to track people with autism will lead to exterminations and eugenics. That’s a valid concern; but if history is any guide, there will also be a parallel effort to weaponize some of them in service of information warfare.
