Hello again, people—this is Nesibe.
If I had to pick one theme that captures the essence of this year, it wouldn’t be "growth" or even "innovation"—it would be safety. Not just safety in ourpersonal lives, but a deeper, more urgent sense of security in business, technology, and even geopolitics. The massive cyberattack on X (formerly Twitter) made that urgency crystal clear.
Elon Musk publicly admitted that X faced repeated outages from a sophisticated, highly coordinated cyberattack. In Musk’s own words:
This made me pause. If Musk—the tech guy—publicly struggles to handle cyber threats, what does that mean for everyone else?
Thousands of users confirmed widespread issues on Downdetector, with reports peaking at over 40,000 outages. This wasn't simply technical—it felt like a direct assault on one of our last major global platforms for open discussion.
