7. • Ransomware is a kind of cyber attack that involves hackers taking control
of a computer system and blocking access to it until a ransom is paid.
• For cyber criminals to gain access to the system they need to download a
type of malicious software onto a device within the network.This is often
done by getting a victim to click on a link or download it by mistake.
• Once the software is on a victim's computer the hackers can launch an
attack that locks all files it can find within a network.This tends to be a
gradual process with files being encrypted one after another.

8. The threat of computers purposefully starting World War III is still the stuff of
science fiction, but accidental software glitches have brought us too close in
the past. Although there have been numerous alleged events of this ilk, the

9. Some 17,000 planes were grounded at Los Angeles International Airport
earlier this year because of a software problem.The problem that hit
systems at United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) agency
was a simple one caused in a piece of lowly, inexpensive equipment.
The device in question was a network card that, instead of shutting down as
perhaps it should have done, persisted in sending the incorrect data out
across the network.The data then cascaded out until it hit the entire
network at the USCBP and brought it to a standstill. Nobody could be
authorized to leave or enter the U.S. through the airport for eight hours.
Passengers were not impressed.
