CYBER PANDEMIC

They are basically telling us their next step is a cyber attack, where the internet will probably be taken down.

“We all know that we still pay insufficient attention to the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack, which

would bring to a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services…our society as a whole. The Covid-19

crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison. To use the Covid-19 crisis as a timely opportunity

to reflect on the lessons of cyber security, community, and to improve our preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic.”

 

~Founder World Economic Forum – Klaus Schwab
"What the COVID-19 pandemic teaches us about cybersecurity – and how to prepare for
the inevitable global cyberattack" (June 2020)

"If cyber-COVID mirrored the pathology of the novel coronavirus, 30% of infected systems would be asymptomatic and spread the virus, while half would continue functioning with performance severely degraded – the digital equivalent of being in bed for a week. Meanwhile 15% would be “wiped” with total data loss, requiring a complete system reinstall. Finally, 5% would be “bricked” – rendering the device itself inoperable. The end result: millions of devices would be taken offline in a matter of days.

 

The only way to stop the exponential propagation of cyber-COVID would be to fully disconnect all vulnerable devices from one another and the internet to avoid infection. The whole world could experience cyber lockdown until a digital vaccine was developed. All business communication and data transfers would be blocked. Social contact would be reduced to people contactable by in-person visits, copper landline, snail-mail or short-wave radio. A single day without the internet would cost the world more than $50 billion. A 21-day global cyber lockdown could cost over $1 trillion."

"Digital vaccine" - it really makes you laugh, doesn't it? 😆

 

We used to call this 'anti-virus software'.

 

It sounds like it will be the 'next-level' up from SSL certificates, that many domain names and websites are almost 'required' to have, a 'new' way of certifying websites in order to ensure they are 'safe' for internet users to visit.

 

And you can bet your bottom dollar which websites will have no problem gaining this 'certification', yes, those 'trusted' platforms like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter et al.

 

Any website without such a 'digital vaccine' will be faced with not appearing in search engine results, as well as browser warnings and blocks if users click on links to them.

 

And this doesn't have to be limited to websites, it can also apply to individual users' own devices, if you and/or your own computer doesn't have this 'digital vaccine' then you can be restricted from accessing 'certain content' on the internet.

 

It's all extremely sinister...

We have seen the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation's Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development

accurately describe what's happening today with Covid 19, in the Lock Step example.

 

In that same document another scenario is HACK ATTACK

 

"Mounting obstacles to market access and to knowledge creation and sharing slow the pace of technological innovation. Creative repurposing of existing technologies — for good and bad — is widespread, as counterfeiting and IP theft lower incentives for original innovation. In a world of trade disputes and resource scarcities, much effort focuses on finding replacements for what is no longer available.

 

Technology trends and applications we might see:Echoing the rise of synthetic chemicals in the nineteenth century, synthetic biology, often state-funded, is used to “grow” resources and foodstuffs that have become scarce. New threats like weaponized biological pathogens and destructive botnets dominate public attention, but enduring technologies, like the AK-47, also remain weapons of choice for global guerrillas. The internet is overrun with spam and security threats and becomes strongly associated with illicit activity — especially on “dark webs” where no government can monitor, identify, or restrict activities. Identity-verification technologies become a staple of daily life, with some hitches — a database of retina recordings stolen by hackers in 2017 is used to create numerous false identities still “at large” in the mid-2020s."

In 2020, August, IBM warned about a security flaw in millions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices including “Smart” Meters and medical implants.

 

In December, then-President Trump signed the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020 to create standards and guidelines on the use and management of these devices by federal agencies.

 

From IEEE Spectrum:


Cybersecurity Report: “Smart Farms” Are Hackable Farms Net- and IoT-connected agriculture could help feed 8.5 billion by 2030—but also may be broadly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats
