Computers are not securable. Not from these types of attacks, anyway. State intelligence agencies are working overtime trying to stop the fires from spreading, but at the end of the day we've had Petya, NotPetya, and WannaCry. We have Schneier with a book called "Click Here to Kill Everyone" and we still have computers running everything.
Ok fine. But one day we're going to get an event and people are going to say: "Oh the humanity, how did this happen? How could we have known?!" I don't know what it is going to be, but I know it's going to be just like 2008 all over again. Industry insiders know the score. If it does happen, my deepest hope is that it ends up being strictly financial, but my gut says that it will probably be cyberphysical. The financial sector has had decades to harden their systems.
