With more plus more companies trying to streamline their systems, they should be anxious 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 credit card information stolen. Thankfully, I have never been a victim of this, although I have friends plus families who were. And it’s a immense inconvenience to get new credit cards plus switch all the automatic yearly payments that are linked to them, however 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 plus Air Conditioning system. Once the hackers were able to receive access to the Heating plus Air Conditioning system, they used that as the gateway to tap into the main system of the business. I think 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 plus Air Conditioning 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 plus Air Conditioning systems online, possibilities are, hackers will try to find a way to split through. My problem is that if the hackers can split into major retailers using their online Heating plus Air Conditioning 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.
