Lets start this post with a question. If you’re a first time reader of the blog, how many of you have ever thought of your water supply or your electricity being cut off because of what you find out later to be a cyberattack? We know this has happened a few years ago, but it isn’t common.
I have a hunch that this will end up changing. As people start to go back to work, even in the midst of the ongoing pandemic, attacks will continue on all types of infrustructure from IT specific attacks to hospitals and more.
I’m really saddened by the fact that they could not keep their word on not attacking the hospitals. I think I called that one and its absolutely sad.
What do you think will happen? Will the electric grid and power supplies be next and for longer periods?
