  Be funny if someone started a gofundme.

    Why would anybody donate and put trust into a very important service that’s ran in an unreliable country?

    The rest of the world will probably just take over and leave the US in the dark about useful CVEs that could be used in their cyber ops.

      My sense is orgs are correcting now from the over-hiring they did a few years ago. Our InfoSec department blew up over the last 5 years as did many corporations but the problem is in the boom you had, for lack of a better way to put it, a lot of morons snuck in under the auspices of “I took a course I’m a security engineer!”

      Now corporations are moving on to risk mitigation which is a completely different skillset.

  On the bright side, at least our upcoming American cyberpunk dystopia is now more likely to feature a greater prevelance of lone wolf, broke, two bit hackers as a semi-viable lifestyle/‘career path’…

    You say cyberpunk dystopia… I say 1776.

      … As soon as you find documents from the founding fathers addressing best practices and policies regarding cybersecurity, let me know.

    It shouldn’t surpris too much given Mike Pondsmith’s general record of clairvoyance that NetWatch is a European Corp.

    And, no, “Vos videmus” totally isn’t a creepy motto. Based out of London, one could almost think that it’s the London CCTV system turned sentient AI.

      All that has to happen for a ‘Blackwall’ analagous scenario is enough undersea cables get cut/sabotaged.

      Then you’re looking at a much more localized internet, where actually having a reliable or high bandwidth connection to a very far away place requires you to either have an insane jerry rigged solution, or a lot of money to pay for an increasing valuable, still existing intercontinental line.

      Of course, we very much could also end up with a more intentionally constructed type of widespread firewalling as well… they already exist.

      China’s great firewall, tons of other countries that have internet and/or social media killswitches…
