Cyberwars & Empty Shelves

[⭐ analyst75]

What These Attacks Look Like

There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.

 

Here’s a quick rundown:

 

Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.

 

Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.

 

DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.

 

Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.

 

Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”

 

You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.

 

You just need to be online.

 

What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker)

You don’t have to be tech-savvy.

 

You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.

 

Here’s how:

 

Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.

 

Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.

 

Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.

 

Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.

 

Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.

 

Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.

 

Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap.

Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)

 

I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.

 

The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.

 

Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.

 

And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.

 

Don’t panic. Prepare.

 

And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.

 

As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.
