Everything and almost everyone is connected these days. Is the solution to unplug yourself from the world ? or unplug the world from yourself ? I don't think that's possible as so many systems rely on other systems to function that to untangle them is not possible. As for ourselves, make sure we have backups of personnel data that's essential, and try to run under the radar so your systems aren't compromised.
Same with vehicles, most new ones are connected to the web to allow for data logging and maintenance etc, but can be compromised and perhaps even taken over by scumbags and crashed. The computers in modern vehicles are vulnerable to threats like an EMP/CME event, and can be damaged/degraded by a simple splash of water over them.
How much equipment have you got that is able to be connected by Bluetooth or WIFI ? I found that even our new solar regulator is Bluetooth enabled by default. What about your stereo, or tv set ? Even things like a toaster is web enabled.
Talk about a vulnerable society, and weve done it to ourselves.
Walk down a main street and look at how many free WIFI points there are, all possibly able to compromise your data. How many rely on their phone for security access to their house or cars ? The list is endless, and we haven't even considered e-mail accounts, or Facebook and so on.
We have a laptop computer that isn't connected to anything, all WIFI and Bluetooth is turned off, so our important data, family videos etc. are as safe as we can make them. Its like a backup, backup plan to recover from a cyber attack. Luckily, our inverter and other regulators are all a few years old and have no way of connecting with the web, so they should be right.
Barium, what you do with dead Chemists.
If people/sheeple decided to ditch the "smartphone" we may have a fighting chance. As it is now, most are so attached to this controlling device its like an appendage.
