This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race

19 minutes

Explores the hidden world of cyberweapons and their impact on global security, drawing from over three hundred interviews conducted by the author over seven years. It reveals how governments, intelligence agencies like the NSA, and cybercriminals exploit "zero-day" vulnerabilities in software for espionage, sabotage, and warfare, often purchasing these exploits on a clandestine market. The text details specific cyberattacks, such as Russia's assault on Ukraine's infrastructure and the NotPetya ransomware, as well as the ethical dilemmas and geopolitical consequences of this digital arms race. It also examines the evolution of cybersecurity, the challenges of defending against sophisticated digital threats, and the complex relationship between governments, tech companies, and hackers in an increasingly interconnected world.
