Saturday, February 28th, 2026. The United States and Israel launched a joint military operation.
The Pentagon called it Operation Epic Fury. Israel called it Roaring Lion.
People, the U.S. military is no longer naming operations. They're naming heavy metal albums.
The result: Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after nearly four decades in power, was killed in the strikes. Iran's internet dropped to just 4 percent of normal capacity. For context: that's less connectivity than trying to stream Netflix at a campground in Wyoming.
And while the physical bombs were falling, digital bombs were falling at the exact same time. Coordinated. Simultaneous. Unprecedented.
Welcome to Behind the digital curtain. The podcast that explains cybersecurity to people who think 'firewall' is something you put between your house and your neighbor's barbecue.
Today: why a war in the Middle East could affect your bank account, your water supply, and yes, possibly your Amazon Prime Video.
