Wikipedia pages get scrubbed all the time. Archive! Current page archive. A year ago.

Alertsense has since started another company called Konexus because of bad press when its software was used to launch the only known live Nuclear Alert in Hawaii in 2018

Whaaaaaat? Is this the one Q predicted on December 18, 2017 and later linked to a Trump tweet with a missing "i" misspelling on 12/22?

@srayzie, am I remembering the Q stuff right? Wasn't that in reference to Hawaii?

AlertSense was behind that!?

The Wikipedia page cites an unnamed, unlinked Hawaii Star Advertizer article as the source of that information. Could not find one mentioning the name of either company during that date rage using their search engine but here are all the results mentioning "missile". Maybe someone else has time to dig through them.

I did find a sanitized PR Newswire mention of the name change.

This notice says the name change happened after a new CEO was brought on, and mentions AlertSense was started by a FEMA grant!

Someone's done a blog https://archive.fo/sr7TO saying the Hawaii Star Advertizer reporting on the missile incident is fraudulent.

Here's a WeeklyStandard piece https://archive.fo/KHwO1 that mentions AlertSense was partly to blame:

Rapoza was adamant that a simple human mistake caused the false alert. And it looked not just possible but easy to make the mistake in the screenshot the agency released, with the link for “Test Missile Alert” close to, and nearly indistinguishable from, the link for “Missile Alert.”

The Hawaiian agency later modified its story, probably in response to complaints from the software manufacturer—which the Hawaiian television station KHON2 has identified as an Idaho company named AlertSense. The Emergency Management Agency replaced its first screenshot with a second, showing a Windows-style drop-down menu instead of a 1990s-era set of hotlinks. And, the agency confessed, the employee also had to make a second bad choice, clicking “Yes” on a confirmation pop-up. While not admitting to be the manufacturer, AlertSense has given demonstrations of its software to KHON2 and The Verge in recent days, by way of suggesting that the Hawaiian employee had, in fact, to go through multiple menus and clicks to send out the false alert, beginning with choosing what the company called a “wrong template option.”

This ArsTechnica article https://archive.fo/kCZxG has a lot more information, including links to the official investigation reports.

How is it that Silsby's company turns up in THAT mess?

Also, I'm going to keep linking to this old post showing Silsby and her AlertSense and Haiti cronies are all from Hewlett-Packard.

Great research Vindicator! It very well could be the same Q talked about! I will do research into this.
