Heightened Cybersecurity Threat Awareness
Recent news continues to show China-linked malware and espionage campaigns persisting undetected for extended periods (e.g., a year-long undetected spy campaign on US researchers, Japan's military USB malware active for a year), consistent with the prediction's thesis of long-dwelling threats. None of the falsification criteria—shortened dwell times or declining incidents—are evidenced; instead, reports indicate continued and even expanding long-term intrusions across sectors and countries.
What would prove this wrong
Average malware dwell times in corporate networks measurably shorten, or if reported incidents of long-term China-linked network intrusions decline rather than persist or increase.
