Editorial Perspective

OT advisories, Apple’s zero-day, and luxury/automotive disruptions show how quickly targeted exploits escalate into business-wide issues. Treat the next 72 hours as a patch-and-prepare sprint: update Apple fleets, evaluate ICS exposure, and tighten scam-playbook defenses where social engineering fuels fraud at scale.
