summary
A detailed survey of recent incidents and policies links concrete failures to policy choices: a SWIFT compromise tries to transfer $980 million from Bangladesh but a typo limits the theft to $81 million; law-enforcement pushes for backdoors collide with the reality that the equities process has handed one vulnerability over to Apple while intelligence agencies hoard stockpiles; IoT devices expose supply-chain risk — a Samsung Smart TV contains 200+ open-source components whose unpatched rot creates long-term attack surfaces.
