This article argues that the cybersecurity industry is a “racket,” meaning it creates its own demand. The author claims that major cyberattacks are orchestrated by government intelligence agencies, such as the NSA, to justify the growth and profitability of the cybersecurity industry. The article points to the alleged origins of organized crime as an FBI creation and suggests that data breaches caused by organized crime are, in fact, a result of government entities stealing data. Companies like Palo Alto Networks and Crowdstrike are presented as fronts for intelligence agencies, with founders and executives having ties to military intelligence and former government roles. The article uses examples like the WannaCry ransomware attack, which utilized an NSA exploit, and the Stuxnet worm, believed to be a joint United States and Israel cyberweapon, to support its claims. The author asserts that these attacks are often on “fake enemies” and are used to extort money, with Bitcoin being the preferred currency as it is favored by the intelligence community. Ultimately, the article concludes that the costs of this alleged cybersecurity racket are passed on to consumers and taxpayers.
