In a week where the fragility of democracy was starkly illuminated, the toxic trio of ego, arrogance, and ignorance is driving cybercrime, enabling, and facilitating it to reach alarming heights.
Ironically, many of the world’s largest and most influential organizations, along with their exorbitantly priced legal advisors are complicit. By default they are enabling digital intrusion and Cybercrime.
Rather than address fundamental security flaws, many organizations employ bully tactics to silence well-intentioned white hackers and dismiss vital Threat Intelligence. This approach mirrors the infamous Paula Vennells and Post Office scandal and strategy: Deflect, Deny, and Deploy legal threats.
This systemic negligence isn’t just a failure to secure sensitive data; it’s a blatant disregard for collective Cybersecurity.
These organizations prefer to pay fines for non-compliance—fines that ultimately trickle down to consumers—rather than rectify their glaring vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, they hide behind a veneer of magical immunity, deluding themselves and the public about their invincibility.
