Digital Prion (n.) – A corrupted storage device, software, or system element that spreads errors or dysfunction to other connected devices in a self-propagating, persistent manner. Once introduced, it can leave lingering corruption even after the original source is removed. Digital prions are resistant to standard repair methods and can affect hardware, firmware, operating systems, or cloud environments, mimicking the behavior of biological prions that misfold healthy proteins.
