A short spoken commentary asserting that cyber warfare is already occurring and undermining public trust. The speaker cites an alleged Russian tampering of hurricane communications in the U.S., criticizes limited media coverage of cybersecurity, and urges teaching basic cybersecurity tips to protect news, government, utilities, elections, and critical infrastructure.
Think cyber warfare is a future problem. It's already here, and it's more real than ever. Russia recently claimed to have tampered with hurricane communications in the US Spreading misinformation to deepen divides during disaster recovery efforts. This isn't just digital warfare. It's about undermining public trust. Yet it's barely making headlines. Why? Because cybersecurity still isn't getting the coverage it deserves. Because it's misunderstood. Yes, the elections are important. Yes, hurricane coverage is important. But why keep repeating the same thing over and over again when we can take five minutes of airtime for good by teaching people basic cybersecurity tips so it doesn't lead to a hack of our news, government, or critical infrastructure. I'm so passionate about helping people stay safe online, but news stations keep overlooking cyber security. I even hired a PR person to pitch me to teach their audience basic cybersecurity tips. But for some reason, it just goes unnoticed. From our utilities to our elections, our safety depends on it. We need to teach people these basics. It's not just about individual skills.
