Rolling Stone Leads a Global Media Chorus on SMX's Proof-Minted Recycling Platform (NASDAQ: SMX)
NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 8, 2025 / Culture always catches up to innovation. And when Rolling Stone is among those spotlighting the change, you can bet that its going mainstream sooner rather than later.

The SIM Card Attack No One's Ready For - And the SMX Technology That Can Stop It (NASDAQ: SMX)

During the Cold War, radar glitches and sensor errors nearly triggered nuclear retaliation more than once. In 1983, Soviet lieutenant colonel Stanislav Petrov refused to act on a computer warning of a U.S. missile strike, a "false positive" that could have set off Armageddon. The lesson is chilling. What separates escalation from restraint is not always strength or diplomacy. Sometimes it is a guess made in minutes, based on flawed information.
