Hey u/axolotl_peyotl the "cyber pandemic" as Klaus Schwab calls it seems to be something many of us are keeping an eye on as the the next big thing after COVID. Therefore, can we please get a sticky post that can serve as a central repository for related information? It'd be good to be ahead of the curve this time.
Could be useful to speculate about larger patterns and potential targets, if any, before they happen.
We need to distinguish between attacks that disrupt supply chains (the focus of cyber polygon event) or even individual people's lives and attacks that merely steal customer data which does not cause disruption (probably just regular hackers). For example the above attacks affected supply chains, while the following attacks in the same time period merely stole customer data:
Remember the Event 201 simulation of a flu pandemic just before COVID broke out? Now this simulation on cyber-attacks on supply chains (like oil pipelines) organized by... World Economic Forum
We all know... but pay insufficient attention... to the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack, which would bring to a complete halt to the power supply, transportation (oil pipelines?), hospitals.... The COVID-19 crisis would be seen as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyber attack... A CYBER PANDEMIC
Watch out for MSM hyping up digital vulnerabilities and cyber attacks.
The DoD considers anyone with more than 2 weeks of food supply a potential terrorist, I have a feeling that classification is more of a commendation than a criticism, I'm sitting at probably 50 weeks myself, I'm ready enough to fight for what I do not have.

This would be a great topic for the next round table discussion.
I don't even have a generator and I kind of hope they do, a few weeks without power will separate the wheat from the chaff
I have enough cans of spaghetti os to feed a battalion. I am ready for anything.
