Another warning before the fork

The Association for Advancing Automation reports that American
companies have spent more than $ 466 million on industrial automation
since the beginning of the year, up 20% from last year 2020. Among the
leaders: pharmaceutical, biotechnological, metallurgical branch. 
At the same time, the media reported that the largest US oil pipeline
(Colonial Pipeline Co.) was suspended due to a cyber attack. The pipeline
transports about 45% of the fuel consumed on the US East Coast every day.
In my Phlog, I already wrote that the enemies of the civilized world are
aimed primarily at critical infrastructure facilities. I am not a fortune
-teller or seer. But the facts show that a purposeful campaign is underway
to undermine the economic and social structure of Western civilization.
And as I wrote in my post on the vulnerability of planes to hackers, the
ultimate goal is to kill people. The more crappy developments based on
smart technologies are introduced into the infrastructure of states, the
more people will die in the future. Now is not the year 2000, hacker
attacks are not happening somewhere far away. They are aimed at the life
and health of people. Here and now. We need to understand and realize a
simple thing. Not only can consumer technology not be used to automate
industrial facilities, but it is also impossible to rely on the fact that
the thirst for corporate profit alone will solve the problem of threats
to national security. For any of the countries that have embarked on
the path of smartization. 
There is a 4th world hybrid war, the goal of which is to destroy Western
civilization in all its diversity. And for criminal regimes, IT smart
technologies are the best means of achieving this goal.
