Given that parts of the sites for both Nordea and SEB, which are 2 of Sweden's absolute largest banks, as well as Telia, which is one of the largest providers of telephone, television and internet services, are down, I assume that Sweden is currently exposed to a cyber war.
You are tangibly reminded of both how vulnerable a modern society is plus how dependent you are on something that didn't really exist just over 20 years ago.
Especially in my role as CFO. I am spoiled to have access to all our bank accounts in real time. I reconcile all the deposits and withdrawals every afternoon, which was impossible today. When this opportunity is taken away, it is incredibly frustrating.
The world has really changed in the last 3 years with the pandemic, a war in a nearby area and ever recurring cyber attacks.
