That actually we have these infrastructural risks that are not just a thing that you have to patch in your own code, but are things that could break the internet.
And knowing that these things are, if not all the way at the point of we've dissolved cybersecurity forever, but are sort of marching towards getting better at cracking these codes, that now is the time to start fixing it.
