James Carder, a technology security vendor at LogRhythm, said next year the World Wide Web is going to take a massive “hit”.
Speaking to Business Insider, he said: “In 2017, we’re going to see it hit big sometime, somewhere.
“If the internet goes down, financial markets will tank.”
The tech expert added: “We saw the massive [distributed denial of service] against DynDNS just a couple of months ago.
“That DDoS attack took down sites like Twitter and Spotify for a few hours.
“We saw a similar DDoS hit Brian Krebs before the attack against Dyn – these were really just tests.
“If you can prove that you can take down massive sites and a large chunk of the US internet for a few hours, a 24-hour outage seems pretty easy to do?”
Other companies that have been hacked in this way this year include Facebook, Netflix and a number of online news websites.
