Too bad MS hasn't allowed people to prioritize their updates (below). Then they would have known this faster. /s

Multiple criminals, including at least potentially one nation-state group, broke into a US federal government agency's Microsoft Internet Information Services web server by exploiting a critical three-year-old Telerik bug to achieve remote code execution. I guess the admins were just happy someone was using the server?

It's good to know more researchers are starting to be interested in this (kind of) idea, which was explored in my Ph.D study 30 yrs ago and eventually formulated a quantum field theory[^] for it. I have shown that is logically inevitable if one want to unify quantum mechanics and relativity without hiding inconsistencies under the carpet ... But it can't be published 
The basic idea is quite simple: in quantum mechanics not all observables (operators) are commutable which implies the existence of "before" and "after" ordering of an operation, or a measure of delta time. Delta time is absolute in Newtonian mechanics, but is relative in relativity. Not only its value, but also its sign can be changed when it is space-like (meaning the spatial separation of two events is large enough), which means that the above mentioned ordering can change for different observers in different motion frames. That's where the said inconsistencies originated since quantum particles correlated with each other even if they are separated by space-like distances. This is the accepted interpretation of QM (collapsing of wave function when measured etc.) and seems to be verified by recent experiments (admitted that most of them are not designed to focus on the space-likeness of the correlations) ...
Therefor one need some kind of retrocausality, at lease at microscopic level, and it lead me to the falsifiable theory mentioned above ...

Thank you for this - I'm assuming that this is all happening at the quantum level, and not at any sort of atomic level or above?

Yes, it's at quantum level and formally at low energy as well, albeit relativistic effects manifest at high energy in classical world ...

This can only be true if the Laws of Thermodynamics are not what we think they are.

I belief most of these studies are about behaviors of single or few particles, namely they are at underlying microscopic level. Thermodynamics (specifically, the 2nd Law) will still emerge at macroscopic level. This is true at least in the theory I developed, which IS about Statistical Physics for relativistic quantum fields ...
