The advent of the internet has created opportunities and developments that have far superseded our expectations. As our world becomes increasingly connected and indispensably dependent on various online or mobile software applications, it is more and more important to focus on the hidden threats behind the ever-changing virtual ecosystem. This interconnected world presents us with a range of challenges created by information technology and the trend in making the Internet of Things (IoT). Cyber threats and damage can occur when technology and power are in the "wrong hands". Indeed, the last decade has seen a rapidly increasing number of cyber-attacks, threatening individuals, companies, and governmental organizations alike.Christmas 2019 was not an easy time for researchers and students at Maastricht University, because for several weeks they lost access to their working files, library services and emails kept on the university servers. On Christmas Eve, the systems of the university were under a severe cyberattack, called a ransomware; attack, in which hackers deploy malicious software to block access to or encrypt the files in a computer system until the owner of that system pays a ransom. The attack affected almost all of the Microsoft Windows systems in the university and prevented the university from accessing its data and disabled its email services. According to public reports, the Maastricht University paid nearly $220,000 worth of bitcoin to restore critical systems that were hit by the ransomware attack. But paying the ransom is not the happy end: once a website is hacked, all the usernames and passwords of the registered users are very likely to be leaked. Many users do not change their passwords for different websites, which means their private information on other websites is also endangered. Even if a cautious user uses different usernames and passwords for different websites, as long as there is some logical association between them, it is easy to crack these passwords with the current level of artificial intelligence algorithms.This cyberattack was the latest of several severe attacks targeting large organizations or institutions in 2019. More than 20 municipalities in the U.S. were hit by cyberattacks that year. In June 2019, Riviera Beach, a city in Florida was hacked and forced to pay a ransom of $600,000 in bitcoins to hackers in the hope of getting back the city's compromised data.In cases where the targets refuse to pay the ransom, the costs of such cyberattacks can be very high. In May 2019, in Baltimore, hackers digitally locked about 10,000 government computers and demanded about $100,000 in bitcoins to free them. As a result of refusal of payment by the Baltimore government, the city employees were locked out of their email accounts and the citizens were unable to access essential services for two weeks. In 2018, the city of Atlanta refused a demand of $50,000 ransom by the hackers. According to media reports, the cost of fixing the damage of the attack amounted to $17,000,000%.
