Hackers will pose a greater threat in 2018

Hackers will affect our daily lives in 2018 like never before. As more elements of our daily lives are linked to the internet, hackers will have greater opportunity to scale up cybercrimes, leaving our homes and personal lives more vulnerable to attack

In 2018 cyber attacks will affect our lives like never before. Hackers have already compromised multi-national organisations, stealing the personal details of millions. Hackers have even been implicated in national elections.
On the golden shores of Hawaii lives one of the most prolific hackers on the planet. At the age of 22, Jeremiah Grossman hacked Yahoo - one of the biggest tech companies in the world. In response, they offered him a job - Yahoo’s Chief Hacker.
According to Jeremiah "There’s a vernacular in the industry, there is the white hat hackers and then there is the black hat hackers. The way I like to describe it is kind of like Star Wars where you have the Jedi and the Sith. The skills are the same but one uses their powers for good and the other one is for evil. I am more of the white hat variety. I use those skills to prevent other people from getting hacked. There is people all over the world attacking you and you have to remain calm and steadfast at every point because if you lose control you will lose the battle."
White hat hackers break into computer systems to find the weaknesses and make companies aware of them. But it’s about to get even harder to keep up the defences.
With an ever-increasing risk to corporate security, 2018 will see an unlikely saviour in the fight against hackers - Insurance companies.
But cyber insurance can only go so far when we are all becoming vulnerable to attack. More and more of our every day lives are being hardwired to the internet from the lock on our front door to our heating. Being connected may bring convenience, but it also makes our homes and our personal lives more vulnerable to hackers.

Every day Black Mirror becomes more a documentary and less a sci-fi...

[@importantname]

Profiling - Evil hackers live in the dark and always wear a hoodie of dark colours, girls find them creepy. Good hackers are fit muscular live on the beach and get the girls.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes, that's the steretotype, but it's funny

[@generalflaviusaetius1997]

World Domination and Anarchy over any girl/basic bitch. Expect Us.

[@jonathanhoover1066]

Who cares about the stereotypes, It's a matter of the truth and knowing the truth honey.

[@mathew633man]

Cyber security will become a new "arms race" in the future.

[@Angus1995]

Matt Nukes are cooler tho bro 😎.

[@alexmarsale]

wrong its bio weapons

[@alessionanni]

interesting topic, makes us think about the real 'need' of being 24/7 connected.

[@louiswilliams984]

Alessio Nanni No need honestly. Just makes people more susceptible to get hacked and scammed online.

[@sonofsoils7234]

as the web is spreading the hacking is going to spread ,nobody can stop it but you can take measures to secure it,limiting the use of it is one.

[@CalvinCarlo]

These are not predictions. They aresimply preparing our minds for their upcoming agenda

[@bigm1235]

I have been saying this ever since it became a popular topic.... Smart homes are the worst thing people can get into. I would never open up my house like that. Although my personal life is still vulnerable to being hacked by having a smart fridge, a system, ring doorbell, etc... are the worst things for people. you just gave hackers so many ways to break into your life and just toy with you.

[@nO_d3N1AL]

The problem has always been that security is an afterthought rather than a priority during development. I don't think there are many software systems which had security as a number one priority. Usually developers start out with a prototype application and then think "oh yeah, security", by which point there is little time to implement sophisticated measures. Furthermore is the tradeoff between user convenience, development cost, and security.

[@audreym9001]

I didn't even know this was that much of a surprise

[@nicolasfrank2515]

It's perfectly real....

[@ionitaa]

Godamn, this clip is edited like a Hollywood trailer...

[@pauloeustaquiodeandrade2994]

As a God The Economist believer, I'd like to thank The Economist for releasing its videos with subtitles in English thus fulfilling its role within the English Religion. Yes, we're not Adventists, Baptists, Methodists or any other "...ists", we're Economists!!!

[@mxschumacher]

Given the three billion accounts that have been hacked on Yahoo, is Grossman really the right guy to talk to here?

[@robertofeldmann9914]

Internet is not positive for the conscience of humanity as it is in 2017. The integrity and loving-kindness of human beings isn't enough for being all interconnected nowadays.

[@graphoid]

Your right

[@ash7324]

I'm pretty sure Pacemakers don't have internet connectivity

[@edwardlouisbernays2469]

You would be wrong, Ash. Pacemakers use WiFi to connect to the Internet of things. To Read the Battery Level, to Update Firmware, a 802.11. G WiFi connection is used. Same way with Insulin Pumps. This technology was hacked before my very eyes at Las Vegas in 2011. At the McAfee FOCUS 11 conference in October 2011 in Las Vegas, while working for McAfee Security, Jack first demonstrated the wireless hacking of insulin pumps, one worn by a diabetic friend and another of the same model on a bench set up for demonstration. Interfacing with the pumps with a high-gain antenna, he obtained complete control of the pumps without any prior knowledge of their serial numbers, up to being able to cause the demonstration pump to repeatedly deliver its maximum dose of 25 units until its entire reservoir of 300 units was depleted, amounting to many times a lethal dose if delivered to a typical patient.[10] At the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco in February 2012, using a transparent mannequin he demonstrated that he could wirelessly hack the insulin pump from a distance of up to 90 metres using the high-gain antenna.[11]

that is the most realistic synthesized voice I've ever heard... )

[@tuongba6449]

Scary

[@stuffedk]

Lol didn't expect to see Jeremiah Grossman here. He is a complete joke

[@shannonbaron7302]

These people are the worlds best puzzle solvers, barley criminal. Those who hire them are in a different analogue world and it is only time for the less evolved to fall. 8 I would like to see a Robin Hood hat too. Help one break free to then help the next one.

[@MrMysticphantom]

did anyone else, keep pausing and try to make sense of the code?

[@TheRealNationalist]

no people have lives lol

[@MrJay-dd8bn]

in this video 00:49 what is that background music name? please i need this... any one help me to find that background music...

[@marrz8244]

Cyber security for me is a most have like cops! and fire fighters!....etc our taxes should pay for cyber security as well just a thought

[@alexsegu2712]

We are living in a very dangerous world where everything will be application dependent connected to AI. Thus making one vulnerable to more cyber attacks. Having cyber insurance will be not enough. We need a rethink of cyber security and infrastructure as a whole.

[@nightcoder2633]

Alex Segu stick to analog 😂😂

[@dreamperfectnoodles6690]

this is 2018,black hat's are getting stronger,what would happen in 2021 if there will be the "internet of things"?

[@techgenez]

Congrats Your Video is Featured on TechGenez.com

[@cuteboxy8771]

Guys I'm scared :( I'm about to cry and I am shaking right now

These hacking exposed things are terrible

[@nicolasfrank2515]

It's real and amazing

[@NellieKAdaba]

Not ok

[@killawsbilladmin6133]

I am open. To offers. The sad truth is that branding, corporatism, whatever you want to call it, ignores the best military secrets. Life is dumb. I can't hear that helicopter, even though my code is 20 x faster than spark. Philistines.

[@ZeroTwo-dk1mv]

its 2021 rn and i haven't been hacked i don't think

[@harrison6082]

I guess I'd better brace

[@PitchBlackHat]

Phone call kaise

[@tuongba6449]

I’m gonna cut my network when I’m not using it

[@nicolasfrank2515]

You don't need to do that friend, Because refixing it maybe be difficult... But I have someone who can help you secure it well from been hacked by unwanted personals..... These is the email [e-mail]
