    I’ve long wondered if a species with a high reproduction rate (or maybe artificial womb tech) and little regard for losses could do some kind of cyberattack against the borg by either making them assimilate a lot of junk data, harmfully incorrect information, or an overwhelmingly large number of members of some desired ideology so as to shift the entire collective towards that way of thinking

      Amish biological DDOS. Suddenly the Borg become obsessed with perfecting butter churns + arts and crafts.

      (Not suggesting Amish don’t care about their kids. In fact, from an outsider’s perspective they appear to care a LOT about having kids.)

        They would probably be easier than usual for the Borg to assimilate, given how similar their method of communication is.

      Drones and even entire cubes can be cut off from the collective. Doubt it’d reach that far. There were the “concious when sleeping” borg that were kind of a virus / resistance, so probably that’d happen
