Reminds me of the Crowdstrike incident last year.

    From a security perspective when you consider this, along with our reliance on mobile phones, POS systems, digital payment processors, iot devices, cell phone providers, etc etc.

    Sooner or later someone with ill intent is going to savagely fist fuck the whole fucking ecosystem to death and take a shit on the flaming wreckage.

    Law enforcement neither understands nor gives a fuck about tech for the most part, unless you’re dealing with high end espionage type shit. Good luck getting officers dunning and Krueger to take action on anything suspicious when they think heir ability to use an iPhone means they’re the greatest thing to happen to tech since the microprocessor.

    The makers of consumer tech products could give a fuck about security. Wireless providers similarly could not give a squirt of fucking piss about security as long as you’re paying your monthly bills and they can harvest data. Politicians only care insofar as they’re able to use tech to push their moral bullshit, control and police peoples’ actions. It goes on and on and on and on.

    We are reliant on all manner of tech products, both hardware and software, to participate in modern life, and yet the political apparatus treats it all like it’s disposable, as if it’s 1996 and it doesn’t matter if all of this goes to shit.

    We are a naked, drunk 16 year old girl at a frat house with a sign that says “fuck me, I’m wasted” around our necks and we’re pretending like there are no consequences to this, or worse yet that nothing bad will happen.

      The Spider Jerusalem of the tech world. But I want to slap some of my colleagues. The number of times I caught some making everybody administrator so they don’t have to deal with security is too high.
