Days after technology billionaire Elon Musk cautioned that World War III could erupt at any time, cyber security expert John McAfee has claimed Islamic State could win.
Mr McAfee – the anti-virus software creator – has warned the United States and the West are only prepared for traditional warfare, not an online war.
He has claimed our “arsenal of bullets, bombs, tanks, planes, boats, missiles and our nuclear capabilities” will be of no use in future global conflicts.
Anonymous recently declared war on Islamic State.
“No one can predict the future,” he wrote in an article for the International Business Times.
“We can make educated guesses or, more prudently, explore the different possibilities and scenarios. And for a scenario of cyber war we are woefully unprepared – one could even say defenceless.
“What good will tanks, planes and missiles be if you cannot locate the enemy to engage them?
“And what will the outlook be for us as the enemy takes down massive pieces of our infrastructure at will, without ever setting foot on our shores?”
