In the very early the morning of January 2nd, the United States decided that Venezuela needed an “administration change.” And when I say “administration change,” I mean they sent 150 aircraft, a carrier, 3 Delta Force teams and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, and basically said: “We’re running this country now.”

Now, you might be wondering: “Dr. Qubit, what does this have to do with cybersecurity? I came here to learn how to protect my iPhone photos, not to listen to geopolitics.”

Well, let me tell you something, my dear digitally naive friend. This has EVERYTHING to do with cybersecurity. Because when a country gets militarily invaded in 2026, it’s not just bombs that rain down. Hackers rain down too. And I’m not talking about hoodie-wearing kids in basements. I’m talking about digital armies from Russia, China, and Iran who are right now sharpening their keyboards like they’re samurai swords.
