The Mind Of Men discuss another hot topic.
What's up, fellas? Welcome to another, uh, True Tuesday episode.
Um, today man, I thought we'd discuss, uh, the recent incidents that we, that just occurred, uh, last week, and I'm speaking of the, uh, the power outage that we had, um, that affected, um, it was a nationwide outage, um, for those customers that were, um, that belong to AT&T and, and some of their subsidiaries, uh, which affected myself.
And I couldn't help but think, man, um, I'm not, I'm not gonna lie, one of my f- my initial thoughts were, um, you know, this was a, uh, a cyber attack.
And, um, you know, the, the, the city w- was more or less, I'm, I'm not gonna say shut down.
I'm, I'ma say 80% of it was pretty much shut down.
Mm-hmm.
Um, but it was still functioning so, uh, had it lasted longer, I'm sure other folks would've thought if they haven't, um, had these same thoughts that, you know, we were possibly under a cyber attack.
And it just makes me wonder, you know, are we, um, really prepared if, uh, this type of threat occurred to us?
No.
You know?
I don't think so, man, just honestly.
Um, I think we are more in danger to it than anything, you know?
When you say in danger to it-
Because we have no control over what happens with the satellites that control these, uh, issues that we having, like the ATM machine down.
Right.
Yeah.
The banks' computers down.
Yeah.
The internet down.
Yeah.
I, I was just happen to be at the barber shop, man, and um, you know, nowadays everything that you pay for is pretty much almost done electronically.
Exactly.
Mm-hmm.
You know, very seldom, very, uh, few businesses, you know, still accept cash.
Right.
