The cyber noiseocalypse is doing my head in, far more than any actual cyber harm has done since WannaCry.

One thing I’ve started doing when non-cyber people who are understandably terrified about what they’re hearing is to ask them what harm they, or anyone they know, has suffered this week as a result of anything to do with cyber.

Might log off all day tomorrow 😀

If a major vulnerability alert (which is a good thing in the long run) and some data breaches constitute “Black October” in cyberspace, what will the reaction be like if something very bad but entirely precedented like NotPetya, WannaCry or the ransomware crisis of 2021 actually happens?
