What if it WAS a cyber attack?
Or, perhaps a dry run at one? Maybe someone at CrowdStrike is a bad guy in disguise, and while he/she knew an attack would have a major impact, decided to slide a bad line of code into the world just to see how much of an impact.
Now that this agent knows what will happen, let's fast forward to Tuesday evening, November 5th. The returns are coming in, and Trump is winning by too large of a margin for Dems to manufacture enough votes to steal another election.
So what's a desperate political party to do? Why, send another update to the world via CrowdStrike, and shut down the entire election process.
Or maybe they realize in late October that they don't have the snowball's proverbial chance in Hell of defeating Trump in an election.
So what's a desperate political party to do?
Why, slip an even bigger bomb into the cyber world via CrowdStrike, which will take down even more of everything. The current regime can then declare martial law, and voila, Trump doesn't win the election---because there is no election.
I'm thinking about buying stock in both Apple and IBM (who owns Red Hat), as I strongly suspect that over the next 12-24 months, a LOT of business and government entities currently running Windows wil be either Mac OS or some flavor of Linux.
The scariest thing to me is just how fast everyone came to realize that CrowdStrike is now the single most important IT or IT-related company in the entire world.
