Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) says cyber attacks have potential to cause global catastrophe. The OECD study concluded that cyber attacks would be ubiquitous in future wars, and that cyber weaponry would be “increasingly deployed and with increasing effect by ideological activists of all persuasions and interests” It said a combination of events such as coordinated cyber attacks or a cyber incident occurring during another form of disaster should be a serious concern for policy makers. Britain last October rated cyber attacks as one of the top external threats, promising to spend an extra 650 million pounds on the issue.
