Stop the press! Hold your breath! Brace yourself for a shocker! Cybersecurity experts predict a rise in third-party supply chain hacks in 2025. Did you hear that? Hackers are upping their game and corporations are trembling in their pricey Italian loafers. But don't be fooled. This isn't a tale of the underdog hacker sticking it to Big Business. It’s a disgusting spectacle of corporate negligence and cybersecurity charlatanism, and you, dear reader, are the pawn in this disastrous game.

The number of attacks on third-party suppliers doubled in 2024. “Experts” predict this will only get worse. No shit, Sherlock! That's what happens when you leave your backdoor wide open in a neighborhood known for burglary. But rather than admitting guilt, the corporate world spins this into a narrative of victimhood. "Oh, we're under attack!" No, you're not. You're under consequence. Consequence of your lazy security measures, of your reckless disregard for consumer data, and your pathetic attempts to cut corners on system safety.

And who's profiting from this fear-mongering? The cybersecurity industry. These so-called protectors of the virtual realm who, in reality, are little more than vultures feasting on the carcasses of ineptitude left by corporate negligence. They thrive on fear, on the threat of the unknown, on the very failures they're supposed to prevent. Does anyone else smell the stench of hypocrisy in the air?

The cycle is simple and shameless: corporations skimp on security, hackers find a way in, cybersecurity firms swoop in to "solve" the problem, and we pay the price. Higher costs, lost data, stolen identities – the consumer always loses in this rigged game. And the puppet masters pulling the strings? They're laughing all the way to the bank.

And let's not forget the government's role in this circus. While they're busy pointing fingers at foreign entities and "bad actors," they ignore the elephant in the room: their own failure to regulate a clearly out-of-control situation. Why? Because money talks and it's screaming bloody murder in the halls of power. Lobbyists for Big Tech have politicians in their pocket, and it's easier to blame an invisible enemy than to challenge the status quo.

So, what's the solution? Do we just accept this as the bleak future of the digital age? Hell no! We demand transparency. We demand accountability. We demand that corporations take responsibility for their actions rather than passing the buck onto consumers. We demand that cybersecurity firms do their jobs properly or get out of the way. And we demand that governments stand up to corporate influence and start protecting the people they're supposed to represent.

Supply chain hacks will continue to rise because it's profitable for them to rise. It's a booming industry built on fear, negligence, and the exploitation of the average consumer. This is not a prediction; it's a business plan, written in the boardrooms of corporations and cybersecurity firms alike. It's about time we expose this for what it is: a ruthless con game where the house always wins.

So, next time you read a headline about the rising threat of cyber attacks, remember who's really pulling the strings. It's not some faceless hacker in a basement; it's the corporate puppet masters and their cybersecurity cronies, profiting from your fear and their own incompetence. And they'll keep getting away with it until we call out their bullshit and demand change. This isn't just a fight for our digital safety; it's a fight for our rights as consumers, citizens, and human beings. Let's not let them win.
