1, 2, 3, 4 I declare cyberwar

 I need to reconsider how I'm getting my news headlines because I hadn't heard about the major auto finance industry cyberattack making many dealers fallback to old paper based systems.

Hello from the Middleman Economy quotes Cory Doctorow:

"This is the American story of the past four decades: accumulate tech debt, merge to monopoly, exponentially compound your tech debt by combining barely functional IT systems. Every corporate behemoth is locked in a race between the eventual discovery of its irreparable structural defects and its ability to become so enmeshed in our lives that we have to assume the costs of fixing those defects."
Actually it's probably better just to read that Doctorw piece
