With the rise of technology, it is best to understand that the world that we live in has greatly changed. Everything is weaponized, including the ideas, images, and the ancient text. This has been made possible through technology. Technology has brought the change, and everything has changed due to the tools that technology offers that makes it easier and faster. You can be sure that technology has brought more losses than what was seen in the past because delivering malware can affect millions of people. The same applied to some technologies that can be involved in the badly edited genes to future generations made artificial intelligence. These technologies can provide a gradual but the long term effect that you will live to feel. These are the most dangerous technological dystopia that is evident in recent times.
Cybercriminals and Ransomware
The most dangerous dystopian technology is cybercriminals and ransomware. In recent years, cybercrimes have increased in a great way, thus making the companies and other business owners be very afraid of the security of their data. The cybersecurity risk is evident across all the nation’s networks. Many attackers encrypt your organization’s data and use it to extort the victim of the cash. Cybercrimes have led to many businesses crumbling because they are robbed of all of their business investment. Most of the companies never report the cybercriminals because they pay off all the cybercriminal and gets silent with the case, This is because they do not want to show their customers of how secure their systems are. You can be sure that they need the customers to help them in their business; thus, through exposing their weakness, they will provide the way for the customers to lose trust with them. Most of the targeted areas are large cooperation, state governments, and agencies. For the older people, the malware is embedded in an email, and when they pen there, it is they are affected. As the government, you need to be careful because the cyber crimes have chosen you as the target because of the sensitive data that you have; thus, you can be sued to pay ransoms. Therefore there are many states all offer the world that is under the ransomware attacks. Once your system has the ransomware system will be infected, transforming into sophisticated forms.
Cybercriminal as the dystopian technology can affect greatly not only to the business owners but also to the other people that own shares in the businesses (William 250). The technology emerges to be the best component of the dystopia because cybercriminals use the technology to rob other people of their properties. You can also get to lose the important data that will cost you as the company. You can be sure that if this happens in the health center and the patient’s information is put at risk. As the center, you can be sure that you will have to pay a lot of cash for disseminating the information that is guarded by law. You can be sure that you will have bridged the people’s privacy and that can cost you a lot. When such a case happens, you can be sure that as a hospital, you are in a poor position to negotiate, and the penalty that will be involved will be heavy. You can get that even a hospital is shut down completely in case of such a breach.
Cybercriminals are real, and it is high time that people take the best step in ensuring that their data is well protected so that it will not fall into the wrong hands. There has been an increased number of companies that offer the ransomware toolkits that are available to all the people. Both the large and the small operator shave the chance to get the toolkit that can use to destroy many of the people. You need to ensure that in the same way, you are vigilant with what you do in protecting your data. You do not want to be one of the victims that will allow cyber criminals to take the ransoms from the successful attacks.
The ransomware that has been used in cybercrime can be a tremendous cause of impacts that can disrupt operations. You will get that you are in the position to lose data or be destroyed when your system is affected. In this post-attack period, you will not be able to work. The businesses will stand still with nothing happens. The files and the data cannot be used any longer. This time can be used for productive business operations. During this time, no activities can go on; thus, no production. This means that there is reduced productivity. You can also be sure that when you are asked for the ransom some of the important cash that you will have used in the paying of the cybercriminals; thus, leading to a great loss. Loss of reputation is the mother characterization of the cybercriminal. You will have a reputation go down because most people will see you as having a vulnerable system; thus, no person can recommend your company. This is because they fear of future attacks since you depict the weakness that you have as a company.
In conclusion
, it is advisable to have the cybersecurity goals and focus on installing an application that has the ransomware resilience. Thus no cyber-attacks can occur with the application. You need to keep up to date with the best way to protect your data and also commit adequate funds for cybersecurity resources.
