Major Cyberattack on Critical Infrastructure by 2026
Cyber threats to energy grids, water systems, and transport networks are increasing due to state and non-state actors. Security measures are improving but remain imperfect.
Successful attacks could result from zero-day vulnerabilities, insider threats, or coordinated campaigns. Governments are investing in cybersecurity resilience, but absolute prevention is unlikely.
My prediction: It is plausible that a major country experiences a significant cyberattack affecting critical infrastructure by 2026, though impacts may be mitigated by rapid response systems.
