Whats scarier to me is they wont have to, they will just have to walk in
and say "would you like us to turn your lights back on"
A big part of the next conflict will be creating mayhem in the target country by disabling the "internet of things", and the more advanced the target, the easier it will be.
Electricity,water,sewerage and transport systems disabled.
No money, doors dont open, phones dont work, food cant be distributed.
We are an affluent country that has been brainwashed into wanting everything to be driven by our smart phones ( The govt loves that as they can track everything you do. No need for an Australia card ).
We have a braindead belief that putting everything onto the internet is good ( economically ), but the people who make this easy for us haven't been adequately putting in protections from attack.
Sure they are "looking" at how to protect majot targets, but we are all soft targets, and hacking into millions of individuals will be just as effective as taking out a power grid or 2.
We already know that several overseas "states" are actively testing out how to disable/remotely access bits of this system, but again, this is actively poo poohed by the media, as it affects profits and spooks the populace.
