My favorite story that I've talked about as the first "cyber" attack for years is from the time of the second Jewish temple, a few hundred years B.C. The Jewish calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and each month has either 29 or 30 days. Back then the length of months was not declared in advance. Instead, each month when a new moon was spotted witnesses could come to the religious court (called Sanhedrin) in Jerusa…
That was super interesting and superbly written. Thank you!
