Bloomberg:Russian Cyber Hack on U.S. Electoral System Far Wider Than Previously Known

[Elster]

Traveler Kai, are you saying we are or will be having having Neuromancer style cowboys?

I have no idea what that is, so I cannot confirm your question. I tried Google searching what you wrote and it references some scifi book from the 80s?

The novel "Neuromancer" is often credited with having officially launched the cyberpunk setting (arguably Phillip K Dick's works could have preceded), specially in what concerns the whole 80's "matrix network and head implanted data Jack's thing.
In this novel "cowboys" are hackers for hire who of course usually are employed by corporate/crime syndicate shadow patrons for conducting industrial espionage.
