A program in one of your opponent’s systems was not written with secure code. An attacker was able to cause a buffer overflow, overwriting an unrelated system memory by exceeding the intended capacity of a data storage structure. They used that memory override to issue unauthorized instructions to the system.
Select an opponent. That opponent loses 3 points at the end of this round. Discard the Buffer Overflow card at the end of the round.
