Remember, the cloud (or whatever backup server you or anyone uses) is just as vulnerable.

A total internet blackout to keep information from coming in while conflict with Turkey - Syria begins ww3

The places getting hit today were big companies with large IT departments and IT security staffs. And it wasn't really like taking hostages or blackmail because there was no one there to take the money and send the decryption key. Now it is just vandalism. Anarchy!

Sure, OK, but who against who?

I guess it doesn't matter. So we lose the files, all the backups. Didn't matter that much anyway. Just a bunch of stupid medical records and bank stuff and Youtube vids. We can go back to listening to the radio.

No
the internet is not "over"
this is not the end
infact
it is just the begining

computer security is going to be revolutionized with the blockchain
theresa May thinks shes gonna stop encrytion
lol
your going to see more encrytption then ever before
and better
and even better anonymous and privacy protocols
and eventually your information will only be held on your machine, and only those who have the current key (or a one time key) can access it

imagine your FB profile, but info only exists on your machine, and if you 'friend" somebody they get a licence to access that info (read only)
you can kill their key at any time
no one else can see it
and hacking FB wont help, cause its just software you download to arrange your profile on your machine

Friend, I want to think you are right. Obv, using things like PGP and the blockchain where there are audits and the keys are on the users machine are extremely secure. But, what happens when the machine goes down, either due to mechanical problems or ransomware? Then all is lost. And we know computers are not forever machines. Not yet. If the keys are not saved "off site" then they are vulnerable, and soon, if they are saved offsite, they will be vulnerable, too. Auditable blochchains saved on multiple servers are a good start. But the race is on.

Probably not. But I wouldn't mind. The internet has contributed to globalization. We are 'all connected.' Moreover, we now just mindlessly gaze into the computer all day. Sure. Let it go - at least for a little while. We all need a break from this addition.
