AI Summary

The article warns that during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a large portion of the web—about three‑quarters—faces imminent risk. It attributes this danger to the internet’s long history of using simple, low‑cost connections such as duct tape, string, and chewing gum to link computers. The piece argues that this makes the web especially vulnerable to software flaws that are often decades old. It suggests that the prevalence of such outdated vulnerabilities explains why the threat is not surprising.
