Cleansing Procedures

Phase 1: Detection

Automated scanning of all BBC metadata using bone-frequency detection algorithms. 847 compromised entries identified across television, radio, and digital platforms.

Phase 2: Quarantine

Immediate isolation of infected metadata streams. Emergency backup systems activated to maintain broadcast continuity during cleansing operations.

Phase 3: Sanitization

Surgical removal of ONYXBONE command phrases. Implementation of semantic firewall protocols to prevent re-infection.

Cross-Platform Impact

BBC Television

  • News broadcasts: 234 infections
  • Programme metadata: 156 infections

Digital Services

  • BBC iPlayer: 198 infections
  • BBC Sounds: 142 infections
  • BBC News website: 28 infections

Government Cross-Contamination
