Yes, cybersecurity will continue to be a serious problem and we need to put in place strong counter-measures  and promote vigilance!
The  question is "Who is next?".

Malicious attack worldwide continue unabated. The New York Times was attacked a few days ago as evidenced in the email below.


Important Update Regarding your Access to the NYTimes.com Web Site

NYTimes.com

Dear New York Times Reader,

As you may be aware, on Tuesday, access to our Web site was impacted by a malicious attack at our domain name registrar.

This resulted in many users being redirected to a bad domain address instead of NYTimes.com.

We resolved the issue by early Tuesday evening but there have been some lingering problems due to some Internet Service Providers not yet updating our Domain Name System records.

We fully expect that all access will be restored by the end of the day today and we deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely,

The New York Times
