    Exactly, the systems that were at the biggest risk were the older, more entrenched systems that were spun up by the government, banks, military, hospitals.

    This are obviously critical (cyber) infrastructure for our modern society. Imagine waking on Jan 1st and half of Americans lost access to their bank accounts or their accounts read $0.00. Or if all the sudden flights across the country/world were cancelled because air traffic controllers didn’t have accurate information or the ticketing systems weren’t showing any reservations.

    People would have lost their f*cking minds.
