Once you do, a skilled hacker may have the keys to your digital kingdom. There are more grave cyber concerns than phishing schemes that lead to nuisances or blackmail. Cyber warfare could lead to actual warfare sometime this century, and nation states are in a fierce arms race to control cyberspace. But that’s not what you and the rest of the country need to worry about day to day. We pay a lot of taxes to a very big federal government and military to handle that stuff. What should concern all of us are the seemingly endless and increasingly clever attempts to steal our information, hold it hostage, and bring companies large and small to their knees... As a law firm, what would you pay to keep all your client records from making their way onto the “dark web”? For a hospital, what are the medical records of every patient worth? As an online retailer, how long can you stay in business if your website keeps getting shut down? These are questions that everyday folks will be forced to address again and again in the months ahead. In the meantime, don’t use “password” as your password. Enable two-factor security for your bank and brokerage accounts. And hope that the Kremlin doesn’t have special interest in your Gmail account.
