15 futurists, foreign policy analysts and other prognosticators provide Politico readers some explosive potential scenarios for the new year.
Gary Marcus, author of the book “Taming Silicon Valley”, one of The New Yorker’s recommended books in 2024, warns 2025 could easily see the largest cyberattack in history, taking down, at least for a little while, some sizeable piece of the world’s infrastructure, whether for deliberate ransom or to manipulate people to make money off a short on global markets.
Cybercrime is already a huge, multi-trillion dollar problem, according to Cybersecurity Ventures, and one that most victims don’t like to talk about. It is said to be bigger than the entire global drug trade.
