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 "cyberterrorism".Imagine if the creators of WannaCry had decided to brick everything they could, instead of _just_ holding data for ransom. What then?Ben-Oni (from the article) says he sees it as "life-and-death". I agree. We'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.
