DESCRIPTION:The Year 2038 problem is often framed as a technical limitation
  of legacy systems\, but its real impact extends far beyond code. At 03:14
 :07 UTC on January 19\, 2038\, systems relying on signed 32-bit Unix time 
 will overflow\, potentially misinterpreting dates and disrupting critical 
 services. While some engineers have long been aware of this boundary\, its
  broader societal implications remain largely overlooked.\n\nThis talk exp
 lores Y2038 as a systemic risk embedded in the infrastructure of modern so
 ciety. From healthcare devices and industrial control systems to financial
  records and identity management\, many long-lived systems still depend—
 directly or indirectly—on fragile time representations. Unlike typical v
 ulnerabilities\, this issue is not confined to a single product or vendor:
  it is distributed\, silent\, and deeply woven into global digital ecosyst
 ems.\n\nWhat happens when time itself becomes unreliable in systems we dep
 end on for safety\, trust\, and accountability?\n\nRather than focusing on
  exploitation\, this talk reframes Y2038 as a challenge of governance\, re
 silience\, and accountability. It highlights how technical debt\, supply c
 hain opacity\, and the longevity of embedded systems turn a known limitati
 on into a slow-moving\, systemic risk—and why addressing it requires coo
 rdination beyond the security community.
