Cyberattack?

[edit]

Despite the BBC clickbait headline, can this event really be described as a cyberattack? There doesn't seem to be a source consensus on what this is and it doesn't really meet the definition of an attack on a computer system, or via a computer network, as the tone signals that caused the trains to stop were broadcast over a radio intercom system. While digital electronics may have been involved, this sounds like an attack using analogue signals, not digital ones. The title is both sensationalist and imprecise, and the article is also relevant to WikiProject Telecommunications so should have that banner added. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:39, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
