Sybil attack - June 7, 2024
It's sitting there right in the
middle of this computer thing,
the words "Sybil attack".
I can think of many
possible valid definitions
for this term.
Perhaps it means the
exploitation of a disabled
woman by her caretakers
Maybe it could be lying
about a woman, twisting her
story for years
Or it might be using
a woman as a platform
to attack others for decades
Perhaps it's turning
her very existence into
something to be debated
Maybe it's revealing her
to the world when she really
wanted to be left alone
It might be taking one mistold
story as if it were everyone's
and should be
Wikipedia says that a Sybil attack
is a type of attack where an attacker
subverts a system with multiple identities
I misunderstood - a Sybil attack
is not how she was attacked
but another attack on her
It took seconds for the writer
to come up with but it will take me
a lifetime to wonder
How long is too long
for society to
abuse a woman?
When have we
abused a woman
enough?
