This story explores the intersection of technology and geopolitics. It covers the cyberattacks targeting Taiwan’s drone manufacturers and what they reveal about global power struggles and technologica
Great reminder that even cutting-edge tech companies can fall victim to cyber threats.
In 2023 only, cyber attacks rose by 42% (and one ransomware attack every 11 seconds!).
That number will increase to one every 2 seconds by 2031..
Taiwan's drone manufacturers are prime targets due to their strategic importance, and startups are seen as low-hanging fruit by cybercriminals.
With outdated software vulnerabilities being exploited in Operation WordDrone, even big companies MUST update their system regularly and have robust security measures in place.
Geopolitics and technology intersect here. Startup founders must keep in mind that no matter their industry, they're part of a larger digital ecosystem. Their data and innovations can be targets.
Wheter you're manufacturing drones or developing the next big app, remember that cybersecurity isn't a one-time setup but an ongoing process, it requires constant vigilance and adaptation.
