it, and you know, this is the 1st tragedy of its nature. the titan was operating in international waters. so it didn't fall under one particular countries, regulations. the fragment and feature of ocean governance could make it difficult to deliver to call for regulations. of course, we'll bring you all the latest on the turmoil and russian the coming hours. but to stay tuned up next are technology show shift, looks at the likely consequences of a global internet outrage on there until berlin. thanks for joining us. the . the russians no longer need the baltic states. why should name? there's no goals. it's only just practice at the base and we're

class 7 months before russia, tech ukraine, of 17 documents, daily life, the town. how are the people who are dealing with the growing tensions change their world we are with you currently know when any insight starts july 8th on dw, how, what cuts traffic at a standstill. no more water and hospitals in the state of emergency. if the end of that collapse of the world could be plunged into chaos as almost everything is connected these days, how likely are internet blackouts today on ship? the

imagines is the intern collapses worldwide. it could be the result of an accident or a cyber attack. what would this mean for all of us? the consequences would definitely be great, but the not being able to take social media of live in our government's bags and supermarkets. any. everything is dependent on the internet. it has revolutionized our lives. today, around 5000000000 people across the globe have access to the world wide web. the internet permits all areas of life. it's getting bigger, faster, and more all encompassing. this creates dependencies and risks in her book, a referral for spanish science journal. this esther pony onqua deals with this very topic. everything is connected to the internet and that means shots that means hospitals that mean every sort of public administration on government. so services every company. me the yeah,

of course media companies. everything is connected. so the longer it less that the great there or the more serious and they impact would be um and we're not prepared for that. the world wide web was developed in the late 19 eighties, primarily to enable communication between universities. back then online shopping and video streaming were still things up a distant future. but the internet quickly spread to other areas of life. it was not creative for supporting all of the uh, companies and pro se, se, as uh, all of the corners. uh, has it in all of the um, critical infrastructures. um government services. everything is going on um that it wasn't created for that. is the internet really in danger? for us to pony out last, it's just

a matter of time before the world wide web collapses. we have a really many examples. it hasn't happened, effect global's k, but it has happened at the massive scale. so it will happen at the global scale tomorrow in 5 years in 10 years or never. are we really at risk of a global internet blackouts? well, let's take a closer look at this. it's true, the internet was not developed for his current use. still it's infrastructure is pretty robust. some data after joe the research has internet resilience at the university of california, and in her opinion a global blackout, whether due to technical issues or cyber attacks is not that likely. and perhaps surprisingly, she says that's because of the old structure of the internet. a lot of the old general design was really good. that's why you've eastern how or nearly the same

architecture to day after 30 years since the ink that i think 1st ago was laid down in a lead a diesel early ninety's. you've never had a global operation. we've had certain services going on. certain parts of the network of fame, but not a really little bit of it's the one advantage of the architecture. the internet isn't actually one giant network. the internet has a decentralized digital infrastructure. it's composed of multiple smaller networks, so called economist systems, which each control a small part of the internet and are connected through note old points. if one or even more of these autonomy systems breaks down, the internet still remains stable. due to its distribution and decent life nature, internet emphasis just put these ways to use the protocol stuff going through the backend of things. let's have a can kind of rush to a big box and utilize the existing fos doctor or the um, unless

a good info i should start doing gigs of cases of lots k feel the protocols regulate data exchange, but they are vulnerable like the domain name system or dns, which works like a telephone booked for the internet. it connects domain names like google, dot com with the corresponding servers ip address to ensure that user requests are forwarded to the correct server. the board or gateway protocol, or b g p, can also be vulnerable as the internet's navigation system. it regulates data traffic and ensures that data packets take the best route through the web. b. b, use the protocol that gives us routes or the internet. it's possible for malicious task to advertise enrolled on, on the a b to b on book which directs you to a falls rock. the possible consequences users might not be able to reach certain

websites or get directed to fix sites where hackers can access their data. since protocols are also the centrally organized, it's unlikely that a b d p attack would lead to the internet breaking down entirely the us, by the way, facebook had a she was pgp problem in october 2021. for 6 hours. the company's services were down. the reason behind this request went on routed to the correct service, a technical era, not beside the tech, never the less, it makes one thing very clear. the internet might be pretty resilient to malfunctions due to it's the centralized infrastructure about the websites and services we use. not, which can be risky. big tech companies also play an important role in the background when we're online. the facebook is down, you won't be able to log into other websites using your facebook account either. in

december 2020 lots of google apps and services went down for about 45 minutes. connected devices like lamps and smoke detectors, also started malfunctioning with a growing number of inner connected devices within the so called internet of things . this will become more of a problem. alexa, look the front door. but let's take a step back. what about the end? and that's how the way or physical infrastructure today about 95 percent of international data traffic runs through submarine cables. they connect to continents and islands. and the reason why this internet access and remote places like small bought in the arctic ocean. what happens when these cables are damaged or destroyed? submarine cables are essential for world one access to the internet. some regions are dependent on a single table, and these can be vulnerable to natural disasters. recently, song of something maybe most cannot option costa. so many people destruction. so

a lot of human ma am naturally factors can cost uh somebody to give us a yes. and it's very difficult to repair that. you actually need to send out the ship, find it. i'll think the ocean do 1st kind of the take of, of that the 4th is located and the pulls the cable out and then we based on part of it and then they drop it back into the ocean. i'm just going big base 2 weeks. sometimes. ready sunday to up to jody is also researching another natural disaster that could potentially disrupt all the submarine cables on earth at once solar super storm. so electric, the stall is diane to emission of electric and magnetic particles from this time. so these are highly direction. so when the look isn't the pop of a very not strong, this the magnetic pocket goes from the sun can interact with the let's look feet and the skin comfortable to very long conduct does on

a pod from power supply lines. this would also affect underwater cables, but the greatest threat to the internet at the moment, uh, cyber attacks. take the one ukraine for instance. digital warfare was used right from the start. with the help of counter spots, russian hackers are set to have taken down ukrainian government websites, and the ukranian cyber defense also claims that the country's power supply was attacked in recent years, cyber attacks have increased around the world. ransomware, tx, of the most popular form here pack us take down computer networks using encryption software and the amount of money for decrypting them. again, it's a big threat, especially when it comes to a critical infrastructure august 2020 to a cyber attack. it's a hospital near paris and france. digital patient files and hospital software cannot be accessed only emergencies can be attended to. july 2021.

hackers manipulate a software update by the american i to provide or to say a 1500 companies worldwide are affected in sweden. hundreds of co op supermarkets have to close that. so tube systems break down the may 2021. a cyber attack on us company, colonial pipeline leads to gasoline shortages in parts of the us, affecting around 50000000 people in major airports. a multimillion dollar ransom is needed to restore the gasoline supply. may 2017. the malware want to cry encrypts user data on computers across $150.00 countries, leading to multiple breakdowns of infrastructure. the spanish company, telephonic, a, german rail, and french car manufacturer over know, are all affected. the u. s. companies, cyber security ventures predicts that cyber attacks will lead to global damages

with around 7 trillion you as dollars in 2022. from most countries, there's more than that d. d. p, leaving financial demons aside. cyber attacks could also be life threatening. most parts of the critical infrastructure as simply and adequately protected. how come and what can we do to change this? according to experts, the main reason for week spawns is outdated security systems used by companies. this makes them vulnerable. a lot of critical infrastructure is less mature, is not necessarily big multi nationals. it might be local or regional providers. it's those that are often the most vulnerable as a not able to invest in security in the same way as large scale providers. and that means it's might need a great to a number of different types of have to groups or friends might be able to talk to them to increase protection against cyber attacks. these weak spots need to be found in security systems need to be updated regularly. it's also important to

detect tax and malware quickly and to react accordingly. so called ethical hackers can assist in finding response with their know how they can help protect critical infrastructure. we should also remember that we will have a and see as part of organizations actually improve security. and there's a lot we can do it. we should feel really empowered by the experts across the globe degree. the cyber attacks on sensitive areas of public life, a real threat, especially considering the current international political situation and more needs to be done to protect these areas. still, a complete breakdown of the internet with us who hack us or other factors is rather unlikely. what's your view on this? are you concerned about internet and infrastructure breakdowns that there's no on youtube or the w. com bye for now? of the
