I'm pretty sure nuclear codes must be entered, then confirmed and then actually launched by a human sitting at an offline terminal specifically bc we don't want hackers to access them.

    It all used to be done on floppy disk so that it couldn't possibly be hacked. But there was talk of that changing a number of years back. Not sure if it did, or if it's coming or what. Haven't heard anything about it since.
