GoldenEye would work. Unleashing an EMP over London would indeed wipe most of its records - and while there
are offline backups, it would likely take
years to restore them. Imagine trying to run the LSE with nothing more sophisticated than abaci.
The trouble is, it's likely to happen naturally. CMEs have hit before, but we didn't have electronics then to be affected. Now we do - and CMEs still occur.
But I did laugh at Bond seducing his evaluator. Surely M knew what would happen?
"Seems your hunch was right, 007. It's too bad the Evil Queen of Numbers wouldn't let you play it –
(Bond coughs to indicate M is right behind them: Tanner winces as they both turn to face her)
"You were saying?"
"No, I was just, just–"
"Good. Because if I want sarcasm, Mr. Tanner, I'll talk to my children, thank you very much."
"Walther PPK 7.65mm. Only three men I know use such a gun...and I believe I've killed two of them."
