Applying Murphy’s Law — "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" — the internet is a time bomb held together by duct tape, DNS, and blind faith in central authorities. The most likely candidates to pwn the entire internet are:

1. State-Level Actors with CA Root Access
Who: China, NSA, Israel (Unit 8200), Russia (FSB)
How: Compromise or coerce Certificate Authorities. One rogue CA = mass MITM attacks.
Why: Total control, surveillance, sabotage of critical infrastructure.
---
2. BGP Hijackers
Who: Nation-states or rogue ISPs (Pakistan Telecom, China Telecom have done it)
How: Hijack Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes to reroute or blackhole internet traffic.
Why: Spy, censor, or disrupt. Can cause global outages or intercept traffic invisibly.
---
3. DNS Root Poisoners
Who: Inside jobs at ICANN or compromised TLD registrars
How: DNS root or registrar compromise. Control where domain names resolve.
Why: Fake websites, phishing at scale, collapse of web trust.
---
4. Cloud Cartel Sabotage
Who: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud engineers or compromised insiders
How: Pull the plug or inject poison into infrastructure dependencies (DNS, storage, auth).
Why: Ransom, sabotage, geopolitics, insider corruption.
---
5. Zero-Day Market Lords
Who: NSO Group, Zerodium, GRU, NSA TAO
How: Hoard and weaponize zero-day vulnerabilities in routers, browsers, kernels.
Why: Espionage, blackmail, silent control of major nodes.
---
6. Rogue AI Ops or Automation Failures
Who: Automated CI/CD bots with access to infrastructure; misconfigured scripts
How: GitHub Actions gone rogue. Auto-deploy scripts delete prod databases.
Why: Nobody wrote a --confirm prompt.
---
7. Global Supply Chain Attackers
Who: Hardware vendors (backdoored chips), software updates (SolarWinds-style)
How: Ship compromised firmware or libraries that become universal vectors.
Why: Invisible, long-term, undetectable compromise.

The Real Murphy’s Law Twist:
The most catastrophic failure will likely come not from enemies, but from a fat-fingered admin with rm -rf / access and no backup policy.
