“Hi Bob,
Have you watched Zero Day by Robert DeNiro on Netflix? How close are we to that scenario?”
My reply:
“My wife and I are watching that series currently. We just finished episode 2 during this last week. Like other cybercrime mysteries, it has truth mixed with fiction. The truth is that all it takes to cripple the US economy is to disable AWS, Azure, or both for 72 hours.
"The series takes it to extremes with endpoint compromise on a national scale. That's not really necessary, but it makes good theater.”
