Blockchain fosters decentralization and prohibits these risks with the assist of AI. There is no time in history that global systems haulted all at once. These incidents always occur on a weekend Friday to Sunday for "maintenance". Welcome to the new world order mates.

  The hardware is something we all have and own now.... If you dont have a smartphone then the bank probably doesnt want you as a customer.... thats what Post offices are for.  Biometrics work well these days!

  My first experience of Online Banking in Germany, Switzerland, and India in ca. 2000 involved hardware tokens. Then they all switched to OTP in ca. 2010. Now, 25 years later, they're going back to hardware tokens.  Reminds me of what Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote, “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose” or “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
