The fact that computer systems are vulnerable to hacking is nothing new. A day doesn’t go by when we don’t see a news report of some major company being hacked. In October of this year numerous sites were affected when a company that monitors and reroutes internet traffic was attacked. That is the big stuff we hear about all the time, but futurist and hacker Pablos Holman says the big cyberattacks are not really the big problem, rather smaller disruptions are the bigger issue.
Certainly if there is a big cyberattack many of us are inconvenienced but usually our personal and intellectual property and data isn’t being stolen. Holman says that as a hacker he would not make a major attack.
