If you want to live through 80’s dystopian books on this subject, we all need to start learning how to hack; compromise these company’s networks, take down their supply chain. In the end, we’re enabling them. We can either give up because there are too many of them, or educate ourselves on their weaknesses.

That will only result in hiring more network security and passing the costs onto consumers.
