Explore Computerworm

A costly “superworm” that attacks all Internet-linked devices and satellites is threatening to throw us back decades into the past. Cybersecurity experts are scrambling to create an antivirus that can defeat this piece of malware. Can we survive the “superworm” while researchers are looking for a solution to the problem before it is too late? Story: It is possible for hackers to attack satellites. They are very vulnerable devices. An attack against a single satellite is bad enough, but how about a worm that infects all satellites? That would have societal consequences, since we are connected to satellites. This worm is no ordinary computer worm, but a superworm. On the 18th of November 2018, hackers constructed an intelligent computer worm in a project that took one year to code. It can exploit any vulnerability and inject a payload that turns satellites into zombies to facilitate the worm’s spread. It can attack all satellites, including vital GPS satellites. Initially, the
