I've mentioned them before. Now they're getting press in reuters, wired etc.

If they're really big, which is very possible, there will be massive magnetic storms. In the past knocked out radio transmitters, electric cables etc but a very large one (expected in next few years) could also wipe out magnetic stored data.

To protect against this I've invented magnetic shield to store things like data archives so we don't go back to a period in history when we didn't have mobiles / computers e.g. 1859... but it's a little expensive... prototype about £20k needed, full room size storage would be min £250k + (Any enterprise / govs please get in contact.)
