Cheese puffs?? Pssh, keep ‘em. Now, dark chocolate M&M’s… pay up!

Try unplugging it.

Life goes on. As long as there are barbecue chips.

One of those little hammers they leave around with the “break glass in case of emergency” sign should work.

You’ll just have to huff and puff and blow their planet up.

OMG! Poor Cliff. Whatever will he do?

Can’t he see the cheese puffs through the glass?

Open it with a hackersaw.

I keep my own private reserve of Oreos for such emergencies.

The fiends!

This can be worse then when Brewster got his head stuck in a cheese puffs jar.

Snack hackers? Shnackers?

If only it was the subject of fun. The Irish health system was basically shut down 2 weeks ago because of a ransomware attack.

At least the coffee machine is safe.

cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages

In case of emergency, break glass!

“In space no can hear you scream”

Break open the machine.

“However, you can still purchase the Healthy Rice Cakes.”

“Those monsters!”

I swear if they hurt the Reese’s……

This is why I always keep an emergency supply of cheesy puffs in my cabinet. In my Mustang trunk. In my Tundra backseat. In Mrs. Baker’s Audi (unbeknownst to her, of course). In the attic. In …

I’m sure Cliff will get to the bottom of this, if he wasn’t the perpetrator.

Felony murder charge for every death associated with this cheese puffs cybercrime!!

THE FIENDS!!!

I was in a seminar about cybersecurity through my grad school program being given by someone from the NSA. One of the students in the seminar, raised the question, “With the increase in cyber attacks and particularly ransomware …” you could see the NSA guy preparing his answer, " … why isn’t there a greater effort to go on the offensive and retaliate against these attackers?" The NSA sat back and thought for a moment and replied, “that got dark pretty quick.”

Just get a sledge hammer.

Explain to me again why anyone in their Right Mind would connect a vital piece of Infrastructure to the Internet?

Technically speaking, the snacks are being held hostage for $1-$2 each

That’s just the usual price: inflation + proprietary vendor.
