What do you think about this statement?

While I find it justified, because I believe that we, as a society, have become incredibly reliant on technology, the might be a bit alarmist. It's difficult enough to make people care about the very basics of cyber security, but instilling this state of fear I don't think will help too much.

What do you think?

I think i would have to agree with this. There is little doubt most countries are geared up for digital warfare.

Do you know how many cyber wars are fought in the world every day?
Not all attacks are targeted.

Wars fought not with weapons, but with software that could infiltrate on thousands of devices, looking for information, the same software that often the cyber criminals use for attack purpose.
The power is strong, and when an infection threatens thousands and thousands of internet users, it is easy to become targets...
The goal is an information, a ransom or personal data to build, through the activities of social engineering an attack strategy.

The biggest threat, in my opinion, is the lack of awareness of the danger and escalation of these attacks.

This would be the new world war 3 no weapons needed! just take over a countrys network and causeits infrastructure to collapse! Very worrying

It is right not to instill fear, but this is an underground process that is often underestimated by the average user.

We as a race have proven time and time again that "we are our own worst enemy"
so it's just a matter of time unfortunately...

You have explain it very good,some dangerous things are often underestimated

Not just underground, vast majority of superpower countries are using it against one another.
Israel did it to Iran, China did it to the US etc and its those that tell us to be cautious?

What do you think about this statement?

Previous very much the same statements as mentioned in the article by for example John Kerry and Fang Fenghui that never really raised alot of eyebrows what I know and I think not even this from Steve Wozniak will make any major news. Klipsh got great points but I also believe it's that people simply couldn't care less because they actually believe this don't involve them as it dont effect them directly and there way of life and if it would...IMO it would probably be too late anyway.

Cyber-security?
Besides that, it's only comparable when it takes lives.

Oh for the old innocent days of the Commodore 64. LOL

 

[jamescv7]

No lives were affected but the operation is totally the main highlight of any cyberAttacks where maintenance will be involve with money thus any process may take longer.

Especially in a country where I.T management is poor and needs an assistance from other biggest organization to take down the culprits.

People...in the future cybernetics, computer malware that attacks people

Everything and everyone will become hackable.

Only if you agree or are forced to get cybernetics implemented.
Think I saw something about an override on some new kind of insulin injector.
