In a world of smart connected homes and cities, cyber attacks will turn into taking control of heating and cooling systems within buildings, elevators, traffic lights, basically anything that is connected and that provides a vital function. Ransom demands will be commensurate with the damage potential, with the bigger ransoms demanded when lives are at risk. I suspect it’s one aspect that the community will be swift to secure because constant connectivity may not be paramount for those systems, and built-in fail safe modes will be prevalent. Nonetheless, I believe there will be a window of time when cyber criminals will attempt this approach before moving on.
