Some cybersecurity threats have become familiar territory: ransomware, email scams, DDoS disruptions—tactics that are now just part of the digital landscape. But the world is changing, and hackers are evolving along with it. The attacks of the future are going to look different than the ones that are commonplace today. In some cases, they’re already happening.
In this WIRED special edition, we’re diving into what’s next for deepfakes, AI and GPS hacking, power grid attacks, and more. We take you inside a mesh network for the end of the world, and show you how a quantum computer stacks up against a conventional supercomputer when it comes to cracking encryption. You’re not ready for what’s coming next … but at least you’ll know what to expect.
