A Cyberattack 'the World Isn’t Ready For'
I feel silly saying this, but I sometimes imagine a scenario in which the attackers are not motivated by money but instead are aiming to simply cause as much destruction as possible, like some kind of &quot;cyberterrorism&quot;.<p>Imagine if the creators of WannaCry had decided to brick everything they could, instead of _just_ holding data for ransom. What then?<p>Ben-Oni (from the article) says he sees it as &quot;life-and-death&quot;. I agree. We&#x27;re simply not prepared for a well-coordinated attack. I think it will take a true catastrophe before anyone really understands just how vulnerable the Internet is.
