CDK Global Hacked

[Simon]

CDK Global, a company that provides auto dealerships across the U.S. with software for managing sales, was hacked, prompting the company to temporarily shut down most of its systems and effectively preventing about 15,000 car dealerships from making sales.

Behold, brave new world!

Someday, the Reverse Big Bang will occur, when the whole internet gets hacked and mankind will be unable to do anything.

Perhaps it will be the Russians, Chinese, Koreans, or other state-sponsored group.

Or, some private "supergroup": corporate; financial (crypto); religious; political; or just some plain nut case.

Aided by AI?

Or possibly by AI itself? (This is the scary one.)

Or maybe it will just be the Almighty Himself saying "Enough! Bring me Taylor and Travis and a rowboat and we'll start all over".

But I digress. Didn't really want to buy a car today anyway.

Remember to always have a full tank; keep the ammo dry; and ask "Gold Bar Bob" (a Jersey joke) to send you a few ingots!

If China tries to take Taiwan, I fully expect our infrastructure to immediately be under attack.

Not likely. China has to be equally concerned about what we might do to theirs. Mutually assured deterrence (MAD) for the 21st Century.

I hope you're right. I can't go one minute without Facebook and Tik Tock.

I've never been on Tik Tok and almost never on Face Book. Maybe I'll survive .
