The World Economic Forum (WEF) warns once again of a potential global cyberattack similar to Covid. This cyber threat could spread more quickly and extensively than any biological virus, with a reproductive rate approximately ten times higher than that of the coronavirus. According to the WEF, one of the fastest-spreading viruses in history, the Slammer/Sapphire Worm, managed to infect over 75,000 devices in just 10 minutes and nearly 11 million devices within 24 hours.

O Fórum Econômico Mundial (WEF) novamente alerta sobre a possibilidade de um ataque cibernético global semelhante ao Covid. Essa ameaça digital pode se espalhar mais rapidamente e com maior abrangência do que qualquer vírus biológico, com uma taxa de reprodução cerca de dez vezes superior à do coronavírus. Segundo o WEF, um dos vírus que mais rapidamente se espalhou na história, o Slammer/Sapphire Worm, infectou mais de 75.000 dispositivos em apenas 10 minutos e quase 11 milhões de dispositivos em 24 horas.

00:00The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken our economies and societies to the core and shown us how vulnerable we are to biological threats.
00:07In the digital world, similar risks are being overlooked right now. A cyber attack with COVID-like characteristics
00:13would spread faster and further than any biological virus.
00:17Its reproductive rate would be around 10 times greater than what we've experienced with the coronavirus.
00:22To give you an idea, one of the fastest worms in history, the 2003 Slammer sapphire worm, doubled in size
00:29approximately every 8.5 seconds,
00:32infecting over 75,000 devices in 10 minutes and almost 11 million devices in 24 hours.
00:39Fortunately, at least until now,
00:41cyber attacks have not impacted our health the way pandemics have, but the economic damages and
00:46therefore the impact they have had on our daily lives have been equal and sometimes even greater.
00:52You see, the only way to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat is to fully disconnect the millions of vulnerable
00:59devices from one another and from the internet. All of this in a matter of days.
01:04A single day without the internet would cost our economies more than 50 billion US dollars,
01:09and that's before considering the economic and societal damages should these devices be linked to essential services,
01:15such as transport or health care. As the digital realm increasingly merges with our physical world,
01:21the ripple effects of cyber attacks on our safety just keep on expanding at a faster pace than what we're preparing for.
01:27COVID-19 was known as an anticipated risk.
01:30So is the digital equivalent. Let's be better prepared for that one. The time is now.
