[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 543708, member: 250"] Well, it would appear that some "Hackers" have claimed responsibility for the Western Digital storage systems going down... [URL]https://www.techspot.com/news/98310-hackers-claim-responsibility-western-digital-data-breach-cloud.html[/URL] Makes you wonder just how much more frequent these type of problems will be in the future? I think it was Bill Gates who said something along the lines that the 'Third-World-War' will not be physical tanks & guns taking land.... but more probably a 'Cyber-World-War', Attacking significant swathes of essential services that keep countries, businesses and individuals operating on a daily basis.. So I was just pondering...... How much chaos would be caused if a few bits like.... WhastApp, Apple/Google Pay, Netflix/Amazon/Disney/Sky sports, and a bit of on-line banking, were all knocked off-line for a couple of months?? [Or more]!!!? So the bottom line as ALWAYS is.... Make sure any important data that you own or need access to, is NOT 100% reliant upon an external third party.. Who could possibly disappear overnight! [/QUOTE]
