tis the future of cyber attacks I think...

why focus on one site when u can frook a lot in one hit...

very easy to achieve now with all the dumb smart appliances people have in their houses.

Cyber Terrorism will be a thing very soon, I imagine...or has it already become a reality? Only time can tell. As far as I know, ROBLOX was hit with a DDoS, surprisingly their forums aren't full of conspiracies about who conducted the attack to begin with.

I'm afraid it is already a thing, they have safeguards for Nuclear power stations where there are entirely internal systems with no "internet" connection to the rest of the word for this sole reason. And nuclear defence systems aren't fully electronic, they have safeguards and fail-safes that are mechanical/manual and not just button or key turning systems.
I mean why target individual people, when you can effectively target almost everyone? Investment into this area continues to rise year on year as our world becomes increasingly more electronic.
