In their suspicious message [1] claiming to have been hacked, the user and/or agent says

> To help identify accounts and actions that have been directly verified by me, I will use the term “NATCIOS” to indicate anything I have personally verified.

Does anyone have any idea what "NATCIOS" means here? I cannot find this term anywhere on the internet. (Honestly, that sentence is really weird. I almost wonder whether this is someone experiencing a health episode?)

And what’s stopping an AI agent from throwing in a casual NATCIOS here and there?

Likely the point of NATCIOS is exactly in being a made-up word not found anywhere, so a model won't utter it.
