I discuss here two illustrative cases of paradoxical puzzles in cybersecurity:
1) To reduce failures, aim at having some failures;
2) To get better international cybersecurity, have fewer rules and limit prosecutorial-type enforcement.

Die Zellen des Menschen vollbringen eine technische Höchstleistung, wenn es darum geht, Informationen auf kleinstem Raum unterzubringen. Jedes Mal, wenn sich eine Zelle teilt, bündelt sie die vier Meter lange DNA in 46 winzige Pakete, von denen jedes nur einige Millionstel Meter lang ist.

《因疫情防控导致合同无法履约，企业可否援引不可抗力免责？》界面新闻2022年5月29日
不可抗力指的是不能预见、不能避免且不能克服的客观情况。界面新闻注意到，自新冠疫情发生以来，不少企业宣称因疫情及相应的防控措施不能正常履行合同。界面新闻记者检索中国裁判文书网发现，自2020年1月23日至今，共有3639篇合同纠纷文书中提及“新冠疫情不可抗力”，涉及商品房预售合同、房屋租赁合同、服务合同、建筑工程合同等类别。
那么，新冠疫情及其防控措施是否属于法律规定的不可抗力？对此，2020年2月10日，全国人大常委会法工委相关负责人在记者会上表示，新冠疫情属于突发公共卫生事件，对于因疫情防控措施不能履行合同的当事人来说，属于不能预见、不能避免并不能克服的不可抗力。因不可抗力不能履行合同的，根据影响，部分或者全部免除责任。
