Rudy Faile is warning that 2026 is when the big one hits — a wave of attacks on the systems we all depend on. He lays out what's changing this year and why it's different from previous threats.

The piece breaks down the mechanics: what's shifting, who's behind it, and how it will actually land on the ground. There's a specific timeline, and it's closer than most people think.

Why this matters for us: la gente who runs side businesses, community groups, and small shops is the soft target — if the systems go, the hustle stops, and we'll feel it first.
