The internet is under attack

Most of us feel that the internet will last for ever, but could there ever be a time when the internet actually breaks and suddenly we find ourselves with nothing to look at and no way of carry on the work, it sounds like a nightmare. But this could happen one and here are the reasons why:

Someone subverts the Domain Name Service

Zombie networks attack!

Massive physical infrastructure failure

Death by a thousand fragments

A really good virus breaks the routers

Updates break how updates work

The Net stops being neutral

The lawyers get involved

Walled gardens

Humans take themselves out

All we need to know now is what’s being done to stop this happening?
