Digital Doomsday

Throughout history, weapons of mass destruction have been the final frontier, a place we never want to go. While in the first years after WW2 people associated them with nuclear warfare, the term has now evolved to include chemical attacks, hypersonic missiles, neutron bombs, the list goes on. Today's atomic weapons are 10,000 times mroe powerful than the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Their goal is not only to cause the most damage and lethality possible but above all to deprive the enemy of its capacity or willingness to fight back. yet, a new invisible, but widespread platform has been more and more used - cyber, turning cyberspace into a new warfare realm. Although these mostly cause technical or financial damage, they have the potential to impair a whole nation to fight back against an enemy attack with the same efficacy as a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD). Will the future weapon of mass destruction not only destroy us but the society we rely on to survive.
