Last the world experienced the largest cyberattack in history. The attack has effected over 150 countries, and infected over 300,000 machines. The attack has most severely effected the healthcare system of Great Britain, halting surgeries and ambulance rides. The attack has taken files captive and demands a at least $300 in ransom in exchange for their return. But upon reports, compliance with the ransom, have not received their files back.
Technology is constantly evolving, which includes technological warfare. Its scary to think that now a days that not only can our personal information be hacked, but also the personal information of our governments. There are also reports that the codes used to spread the virus are similar to the signature codes North Korea. I hope that this isn't foreshadowing a third World War, and it's leading weapon; technology.
