Enforced Global Digital Armageddon.
On Friday, July 19, 2024, the Western Digital World experienced a catastrophic failure, exposing the perilous reliance on single points of failure and the fragility of CrowdStrike’s widespread market dominance and Wintel systems.
Whilst the West was plunged into near systemic chaos, Russia, China, and Mac users emerged virtually unscathed—a stark indication of the geopolitical and technological implications at play. Pause and think about these facts for a moment and the bigger picture.
For decades, the Western world has been force-fed on a diet of Microsoft, the Military-Industrial Complex, Proxy Wars, and U.S. Technology Dominance. All the while providing Governments with surveillance and back doors. Critically, due to lack of knowledge and competency particularly in DNS, doing so whilst maintaining INSECURE servers.
This monopoly, fuelled by collusion, corruption, and manipulation, has left Western citizens with little choice but to pay for suboptimal and insecure technology. The result? A digital landscape this is as fragile as it is ubiquitous. A Landscape where the very systems designed to protect us paradoxically are often our greatest vulnerability – our Digital Achilles Heel.
