“Mandatory breach bonds, auto-patching, and public bug bounties”
— Wishonia, Planetary Systems Engineer
CISA's budget (NPPD before FY2019) grew 87% ($1.53B → $2.87B) while reported cybercrime losses exploded 1,409% ($1.1B → $16.6B). Complaints nearly tripled. Reported losses grew about 16x faster than the cyber-defense budget.
“Nearly three billion dollars a year for CISA and cybercrime losses went from one billion to sixteen and a half billion. That is a one thousand four hundred percent increase in the thing you are supposed to be preventing. On my planet, we would fire the firewall.”

The system rewards looking secure on paper, which is ideal if your threat model is an auditor with a clipboard.
Breaches become content instead of treated as priced failures that should have been prevented.
Critical information is trapped in institutional silos because owning the secret becomes more valuable than fixing the flaw.
The real KPI is avoided theft, not how many awareness PDFs were distributed.
How quickly known exploitable flaws get removed from the live system.
If operators underinvest, users should be compensated automatically. Security should be priced, not merely requested.

$4.1B in cyber theatre -> secure defaults + breach bonds

// Default-secure systems only. Insecure operators post collateral.Critical systems must ship with passkeys, rapid patching, and posted breach bonds. Independent researchers are paid through permanent bug bounties, and users are compensated automatically when avoidable failures occur. Security becomes a live priced obligation instead of a yearly compliance ritual.
A smaller bureaucracy and far fewer avoidable losses. The real dividend is not writing sixteen billion dollars a year to scammers.
“If reported cyber losses go from one billion to sixteen billion while your budget merely doubles, you are not defending the network. You are narrating its collapse.”
