Yeah, I think the hint is that something is going on here.

Like possibly a national security issue of some kind.

'We' are at 'war' with Russia, after all.

I've no information on what's going on, or even if anything's going on. Other than today's SEC announcement of fraud findings: <https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/12/the-sec-revealed-today-tha...>

That said, I'd keep an eye on any future 0-day announcements ... if there's anything here, it has that kind of smell about it.

That's what I mean. And because it's CEOs and not CTOs it's likely a Zero-Day related to something geopolitical.

The West is at war, my downvoting detractors are naive to not contemplate that the world's #2 Army is not running shenanigans as they have literally publicly stated they would, and we have direct evidence to support it. And literally Biden gov. urging US businesses to 'patch up' at the start of the war. They are looking for whatever leverage they can. And there are other capable enemies notably China and North Korea.

If in fact this rumour is true, i.e. 'CEOs doing this at the same time' then this could very well be a national security issue.

That's close to my read, though again, based on a report of undetermined validity and circumstantial information only.

So: heightened alertness, but not immediate panic.
