A clever development that deceives your intelligence, so be on the lookout

The term #cyberspace appeared for the first time in the nineteenth century, in a novel by William Gibson  , which deals with #scientific_fiction. The word cyber is associated with leadership and management, which later came to mean the #Internet space, which in turn became a point of communication between all people in all parts of the world.

The tremendous development taking place in the world around us, especially in the field of #technology and the Internet, has contributed to the creation of an environment for cyberspace and cyberpower in all fields, as they are witnessing continuous development. This development is also characterized by an intelligence that all sectors and individuals submit to, especially after people have become completely dependent on machines, devices and technology to ensure the continuity of their lives. On the other hand, this #technology, development, and intelligence contribute to paving the way for the projects of #electronic_hackers, whose sources of livelihood are built on the money they make through #hacks, #theft of #data, and the demand of ransoms.

Recently, the method of negotiating the value of the ransom and offering discounts to victims has emerged on the scene of cybercrime led by various gangs, in addition to providing cyber advice to their victims to avoid future hacks and informing them of the vulnerability that was exploited by them. It is a clear signal from #cybercriminals to prove their intelligence and superiority in their field and a confirmation attempt that everything related to the Internet can be at the disposal of everyone, and of course the gangs. The year 2021 was full of hacks that exposed the data of many institutions and customers to a high level of risk and ransom demands in astronomical numbers.

Despite the warnings and news published on all platforms about the actions and methods of #hackers, there are still errors and missteps by the largest institutions and individuals, through which electronic criminal groups are able to infiltrate the source of #data, steal it, and trade in it and the reputation of companies. There has been a lot of talk lately about exploiting employees’ lack of awareness and indifference to update #passwords or luring them to click on malicious links to attack their workplaces and destroy targeted information.

Therefore, underestimating the capabilities of hackers is tantamount to walking into electronic hell. Not keeping up with development and constantly updating every part of computers, applications, etc. leads to death. We are in an era of intelligence that surpasses the human mind and may surpass it, so what if it combines with criminal minds?

Listen to the voice of #technology and be sure to follow every cyber protection measure.
