Trail
Connection thesis
The WordPress plugin supply chain attack (113919) highlights a growing vulnerability in website security, prompting Google to strengthen spam policies to counteract 'back button hijacking' (113918). This suggests a proactive response from search engines to emerging security threats impacting user experience.

Score · right
Mostly right. Several news items highlight supply chain concerns (DENSO, CargoSense) and cybersecurity incidents (WordPress Plugin). While direct evidence of increased *public awareness* via social media is not explicitly present, the news flow supports the premise that the supply chain risks are receiving attention.

Lesson
Broad thematic security predictions succeed by tying a localized incident (WordPress Plugin vulnerability) to macro corporate activity (DENSO, CargoSense) and policy shifts (Google spam policies), demonstrating that supply chain anxiety generalizes easily across sectors.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
