'Anyone can be a super-hacker now': world faces cybersecurity reckoning
Original: ‘Anyone can be a super-hacker now’: The world faces a cybersecurity reckoning
A Washington Post report argues that hacking capabilities once reserved for elite state-sponsored groups are now broadly accessible, meaning almost anyone can become a 'super-hacker'. The piece warns that governments, companies and individuals are heading toward a reckoning as attacks grow cheaper, faster and harder to defend against, exposing weaknesses across critical infrastructure and digital services worldwide.
Why now: Growing concern that AI and widely available tools are democratizing powerful cyberattack capabilities.
