    All very predictable. As soon as a company sets hiring quotas, it guarantees that the new hires will be less capable since they are having to select from a considerably smaller pool of applicants.

    Flashback January 2023 Davos

    Theme of the World Economic Forum meeting is cybersecurity . Forum Managing Director Jeremy Jurgens revealed that 93 % of those surveyed believe that a “catastrophiccyber security event is likely in the next two years.

    Cyber Storm Predicted at the 2023 World Economic Forum (securityintelligence.com)

    On cue ;yesterday an update by CrowdStrike to Microsoft systems crashed worldwide causing unacceptable disruption to airlines and other transportation systems ;financial systems ;hospitals ;media ;911 call centers and other services dependent on the internet.

    It was by far the largest IT outage in history.

    CrowdStrike blames it on an update called Falcon Sensor.

    As far as I can tell it is NOT the reason for the continuous disruptions of Askmehelpdesk by Database errors.

    It is one thing for airline operations to be compromised. That's bad, but not nearly as bad as AMHD being down so frequently. Biden needs to address this immediately!!

    The world heads and jet setters converge on Davos annually and often game out future catastrophes that they will have to lead us through in a matter of years .

    Did they know Covid was coming ? You tell me .

    2019 what was 'Event 201' ? It was an exercise conducted by John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in cooperation with the World Economic Forum (Davos) and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on how to prepare for a future global pandemic. This was gamed out in October 2019 .

    Read the recommendations . They included things like surging new vaccines ;combating and censuring misinformation ;governments doling out largess to deal with the economic and social impacts of a pandemic

    Bill Gates hmmmm as in Micosoft ;one of the players in this week's gaming of a future cyber threat disrupting society .

    Davos 2023 . The FBI in May

    You can't say they didn't warn us

    CrowdStrike ...where have I heard them before ? They were part of the (ahem ) "debunked " Russia collusion hoax.

    Cybersecurity firm finds evidence that Russian military unit was behind DNC hack - The Washington Post

    Quote:

    CrowdStrike, the private cyber-security firm that first accused Russia of hacking Democratic Party emails and served as a critical source for U.S. intelligence officials in the years-long Trump-Russia probe, acknowledged to Congress more than two years ago that it had no concrete evidence that Russian hackers stole emails from the Democratic National Committee’s server.

    Working with the DNC and Evita's campaign they spun the lie that Russia hacked the DNC on behalf of the Trump 2016 Campaign. The FBI ran with the lie and investigated candidate and eventually President Trump ;undermining his term in office.

    How does the predicted cyber attack end ? Well the net is restored . But to deal with future cyber events we are all given digital IDs

    Did this cyber event dry run happen the morning after Trump accepting the Repub nomination . Yes.... but that has to be a coincidence.
