With more plus more companies trying to streamline their systems, they should be upset about hackers gaining access to their networks; Over the years, so various security systems have been breached, which resulted in lots of people having their identities or personal debit card information stolen.
- Thankfully, I have never been a victim of this, but I have friends plus families who were.
And it’s a sizable inconvenience to get new debit cards plus switch all the automatic yearly payments that are linked to them, then hackers are getting smarter plus smarter, plus they are finding easier ways to hack into the systems of major companies. Some years ago, hackers were able to receive access to a major retailer’s system by hacking into their Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system. Once the hackers were able to receive access to the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system, they used that as the gateway to tap into the main system of the corporation. I assume at the time that no one thought this breach was possible. After all, it’s not every day you hear about hackers using the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system to get in the back door of a major retailer’s network. By now, there should be some safeguards in locale to make sure that this doesn’t happen again. But with more plus more companies becoming automated, having their networks, building plus Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C systems online, possibilities are, hackers will try to find a way to break through. My concern is that if the hackers can break into major retailers using their online Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C systems, it means that they could potentially hack residential homes the same way. I don’t see this happening on a wide scale, but anything is possible in the age of automation that my pal and I are living in.
