Rising Hostility Threshold<\/h3>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

Since June 2026, a storm has been battering banking and IT infrastructure worldwide. <\/strong>Attacks<\/a> have affected a vast number of public and private information systems, while critical vulnerabilities<\/a> in software libraries (PHP, NodeJS, Java<\/a>) have left a large number of networked services exposed.<\/p>\n

The impact of these breaches is already considerable<\/strong>. About thirty countries<\/a> have reported attacks in the banking and industrial sectors. In late October, Polymarket<\/a> and Binance<\/a> announced that they had lost $2.7 million and $6,000 million, respectively, as a result of intrusions. In Iran, part of the banking transaction network<\/a> was taken offline. In India, Tata Electronics<\/a> saw entire swaths of data compromised, as did the National Insurance Commissioners\u2019 Council (NAIC<\/a>) in the United States. Additionally, the Hugging Face<\/a> platform was hit by a new type of attack officially attributed to an artificial intelligence agent (in this case, at OpenAI). Many other entities in various countries have been affected<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While cybersecurity vulnerabilities are nothing new, the intensity of the attacks, their timing, and the methods used to carry them out are now pointing toward a more aggressive pattern and a new strategic landscape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is clear that this series of incidents in the financial and IT sectors is part of a climate of conflict that has been escalating since 2020.<\/strong> Over the past five months, the surge in cyberattacks<\/a> has coincided with the bursting of the financial bubble<\/a> in the industrial AI sector, the instability<\/a> of certain financial markets (bonds, stock exchanges), warnings and preparations<\/a> for anticipated logistical and energy disruptions, as well as drills simulating<\/a> communication network outages. The current riots in Europe<\/a> have further heightened this cacophonous atmosphere. The simultaneous occurrence of these dynamics\u2014against a backdrop of new military maneuvers in Africa<\/a> and the Middle East<\/a> as part of the ongoing conflicts in Iran and Ukraine\u2014has led some circles to propose a scenario of open war in Europe<\/a> around the year 2030.<\/p>\n

One thing leading to another, the proliferation of these factors has shaped the perception of a hostile and threatening environment.<\/strong> Here and there, media ecosystems and opinion-shapers have amplified cases of economic, banking, or IT disruptions, echoing the effusive remarks<\/a> of global risk<\/a> observers. AI is portrayed<\/a> as an uncontrollable \u201csuperintelligence\u201d capable of increasing infosystemic conflict<\/a>. Along the way, events have been blown out of proportion in the information sphere, as if the goal were to create a climate of global \u201cArmageddon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside this perceptual framework, current destabilizations resemble what the Russian philosopher Alexander Bogdanov posited in his approach to societal transformation. <\/strong>For this author, whose intellectual influence was as underappreciated as it was considerable<\/a>, any \u201ctransformation is a result achieved less through a decisive act of will or the seizure of power than through changes carried out at various levels.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The current series of incidents is indeed generating simultaneous instability in two key areas of the international system (banking and information technology).<\/strong> At first glance, there is nothing to establish obvious cause-and-effect links between these multifaceted crises, other than their temporal synchrony and a focus on the banking sector and digital infrastructure. A closer examination, however, indicates that these incidents\u2014or at least some of them\u2014are the result of planned and coordinated maneuvers within the upper echelons of the international system.<\/p>\n
