“This is just another black swan event, so to speak, that the producers and consumers both suffer from,”

Im pretty sure theres nothing black swan about cybersecurity attacks when they are as frequent as they are, across all industries.

Agreed. It's such a silly thing to call it. The point of the expression is that black swans were assumed to not exist. It's not a "black swan event" once you know that swans can actually be black. It's just plain old sparkling cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
