The parallels with the "Daemon" in Daniel Suarez' novel are scary. small spoiler ahead This Daemon is an AI that keeps data of big companies hostage - it will destroy all that company's data if the company does not pay protection money, or if the company involves law enforcement. Because a lot of companies in the novel don't stick to the AI's rules, these companies go down with the exact same symptoms as Maersk is now having: - unable to do business - unclear what happened - declining stock prices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(novel_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(novel_series)
