You could think, “Another hack, big deal…so I won’t drive for some time or until gas prices go down”.

This isn’t only a fuel and problem.  This emphasizes the significance of a powerful cybersecurity stance for those INDUSTRIES.  Why? Let’s say there wasn’t enough gas to obtain a victim towards the hospital, in order to run the ambulance which was required to save a existence?  Let’s say the traffic brought on by the lines in the service station wreaked havoc in different ways using the stress it leads to? We’re all already at our tipping point emotionally, and just what if the was the final straw that puts someone within the edge? That sounds nearly the same as a healthcare problem.

As the online hackers “apologized” for which they did, and indicated it had been just in line with the need to receives a commission, the thing is that whatever the targeted victim or industry, many of us are affected in some way.
