Chinese consumer spending has catered. You're a few years out of date.

Thats a DDoS attack.

One in 25000? Surely you mean that as a subset of those with postpartum depression? That would mean over 144 cases of homicide per year linked to postpartum psychosis. Seems a lot more rare than that.

Old news. We heard all this back in the 20th century.

The problem with CISA is that cyber security measures previously taken have served to make Russia look bad and did nothing to prove Trump actually won in 2020.

"Over regulating" robotics would prevent widespread use of robotic labor from ever becoming common.

That ^^^ or perhaps some legitimate software that was OK when installed, but later got a supply channel hack of an update that included the malware.

The real problem here is the eternal Windows problem of dll side-loading.
That allows a system dll to be impersonated and evade sfc scannow protection. How it gets activated is by far less of a problem than that the bad code is already resident in memory waiting for instruction.
Also, there's the problem that someone has gotten the privilege to put it there.

Just an FYI, but other Russian firms have set up shell companies in Cyprus to evade sanctions:

The next step is for the lenders to bundle the small loans into securities to sell to investors. They'll say the securities will be safe because they'll be protected with credit default swaps, CDS, that will be sold on the open market. They will get AAA ratings.
Next, you'll be able to trade naked CDS and securitized bundles of CDS guaranteed by investment houses and major insurance companies. This market will be holding trillions of dollars of putative value.

Then a bomb will go off in the lobby of one of the investment houses, perhaps figuratively, and that company will collapse. The CDS will all be called and the trillions will evaporate, and by that I mean anyone who is not a too-big-to-fail entity will lose their shirts. Also, they'll lose their houses.
The treasury will prop up the too-big-fail-entities and, oh, btw, the investments of the political leadership, and by that I do not necessarily mean the elected leadership.
