Modern hackers are like ghosts.

Hackers are like ghosts. They search networks and try to find a weakness. Those people can search for data. And they can sell it to people. Who are willing to pay. Governmental supported. Hackers are the new operators on the net. Those people are classified as “advanced persistent threat” (APT). The problem with government-supported hackers is this. Those people are working under the control of governments. 

They are untouchable. And they have official authority. Those people have the most advanced AI-based tools in their operations. And they might have very expensive development tools. Another problem with those people is this. Those hackers can work for organized crime, and organized crime can offer many things. To a government that has exportation limits. 

Those people. Can sell things. Like drones, software, and computers, to the North Korean government. And that the government can offer assault rifles to those criminals. The hacker who gets things. Like geospatial information. Like. Precise locations of nuclear warheads, or information about things like radar frequencies that radar satellites use, can cause large-scale damage. When the data layer. Between. Humans and the environment spread. 

Hackers can become. More and more dangerous. When the AI connects physical layers. Like robots and 3D printers on the net. That causes problems for physical security. The misuse and misunderstandings can also cause trouble. When we think about things like a blood-type table, it’s possible that a hacker accidentally presses the “delete” button. Or, otherwise accidentally. Removes vital information. 

A modern hacker is not a 15-year-old kid. Those people can work for organized crime, or governments, or both. Those people. Those. Who is operating behind hackers can force people work for them. They can threaten their life or their family members. 

The fact is that if the system exists, it's vulnerable. And things like social media. That is open social media. And restricted social media. Like company meetings. Are platforms that allow hackers hunt people. The virtual actor can be used as a phishing tool. 

Those actors can slip into the company meetings. And the problem is this: remote meetings are on weekdays. In multinational corporations. Remote work is not itself a problem. It’s possible that the workers must travel to their offices. Otherwise, there are no safe offices. Things. Bluetooth earphones can act as eavesdropping tools. The eavesdropper can sit just behind the wall and use that equipment for spying. 

The vulnerability is not always direct. It can be indirect. Indirect means that there can be a vulnerable surveillance camera in the office. And if hackers can slip into that camera. They can read things. Those are written to monitors. Or they can make their own key to those offices, and then they can search for papers there are passwords. Or include their own telephone. To the micro support’s service list. So, they can simply ask. For their passwords in the targeted system. So, only one unprotected telephone can open access to the system. 

Those earphones can be on the table or the shelf. The eavesdropper can use the same tools that police use for sound analysis. And that turns even the lowest noise into understandable speech. And the speech-to-text applications make those things more effective. The hacker can read what people say on the screen. And that helps to destroy the privacy. And how can a hacker open the door? They can break into the property maintenance company’s computers. And include themselves. Into the list of people whom those workers must open the door for. 

But. The problems are the overseas meetings. Those meetings where people make big decisions can be thought of as safe. But if somebody can slip a virtual actor into those meetings, people might not worry about that possibility. The thing is that hacking itself doesn’t require programming skills. It requires the ability to get things like passwords. 

The problem is this. While workers are in offices, their homes are empty. The attacker can slip into those homes and try to find things like notebooks. And there are those passwords. When we think that we are safe, we are under the biggest threats. Things like blackmail are tools that open the route to the system. The wrong type of trust can cause big damage.
