"Killware" - the name for a new breed of cyber attacks aimed not just at computer systems, but particularly those whose disruption could cause harm to people who depend on them. Ransomware is already a pressing security issue, and now some cyber security experts are warning the situation could be compounded as actual lives could be at stake.

This video discusses the security implications of connected systems and their vulnerabilities. Depending on who you ask, the first deaths from killware attacks have already been recorded. How have these attacks already affected people, and why do some believe cyber attacks are one of the greatest modern security issues? We'll discuss the hard details and the hypotheticals.
