The recent global cyber outage that occurred on Friday has been described by cybersecurity expert Troy Hunt as potentially the largest IT outage in history. Hunt expressed his concerns in a post on Friday, likening the situation to the Y2K scare that never materialized.
While the full extent of the impact is still being assessed, comparisons have been drawn to the 2017 'NotPetya' cyberattack, which was attributed to the Kremlin and caused widespread disruptions globally. The White House condemned the attack as the most destructive and costly cyber-attack in history.
