The 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, has filled us with lots of uplifting predictions, like how companies will soon decode our brain waves. The latest warns of a global catastrophic cyber event in the very near future.
“The most striking finding that we’ve found,” WEF managing director Jeremy Jurgens said during a presentation highlighting the WEF Global Security Outlook Report 2023, “is that 93 percent of cyber leaders, and 86 percent of cyber business leaders, believe that the geopolitical instability makes a catastrophic cyber event likely in the next two years. This far exceeds anything that we’ve see in previous surveys.”
Add in the extreme unpredictability of these events—Jurgens cited a cyberattack recently aimed at shutting down Ukranian military abilities that unexpectedly also closed off parts of electricity production across Europe—and the global challenges are only growing.
“This is a global threat,” Jürgen Stock, Secretary-General of Interpol, said during the presentation. “It calls for a global response and enhanced and coordinated action.” He said the increased profits that the multiple bad “actors” reap from cybercrime should encourage world leaders to work together to make it a priority as they face “new sophisticated tools.”
One country that recently saw a massive cyberattack, Albania, is now working with larger allies in warding off the criminals, serving as a laboratory of sorts for folks to realize what is coming.
Edi Rama, Albania’s prime minister, spoke during the presentation, saying that the growth of the cybercrime industry—from $3 trillion in 2015 to an expected $10.5 trillion in 2025—means that if cybercrime was a state, it would be the third largest global economy after the U.S. and China.
Rama cited the global response to COVID-19 and said a cyberattack could be much more substantial:
“Let’s imagine an exponential multitude of viruses that mutate everyday exponentially while not threatening our body, but the bodies we live in, our organizations, our countries, our system, then, you know, it could be just apocalypse. It’s about viruses that can not only block our way of living, but can control it and deviate it.” [WEF, WEForum, PM]

The correlation between WEF's predictions, and creepy occurrence's have been very timely suspicious, right? So, why don't they spend billions figuring out how to prevent, isolate, abolish, rid labs doing evil, eliminate possibilities, etc., IMO??
Let's imagine some folks are not permitted, or don't spent time figuring ways to cash in on evil simulations for deaths for mankind, as many believe the case, IMO. Rather than pushing doomsday, and doing so very eagerly, how about simulations to learn cures, containments, preventions, solved prior, capture/eliminate/not create, all that is pure evil scenario's, IMO????
We can have fear of anything we might have no control over! Yet, are some folks/Organizations, actually using free rein to literally "BUY TROUBLE" for humanity to experience???? WEF's, proving to be the now "Non-sustainable Agenda's", are an example of contributed recent strife Globally, as being reputed! May God deal with such diabolical scenario's through God's divine intervention, and protect his children amongst any evil being poured forth!!! Sometimes people ask for trouble, and let's not do so, but instead seek Godly resolutions; hey, leave well enough alone maybe in most instances become a great one solution?????? Geez, think positive thoughts!
