World War III likely to be a cyber war feels John McAfee

#ISIS #Cyberwar In the opinion of John McAfee, a leading computer security expert, a WWIII could be in the making and when it does happen, it will be a cyber war that the 'woefully underprepared' U.S. may lose to ISIS. He has described the reliance of the United States on war machines and troops which is outdated because jihadi hackers could turn such equipment against America in a nightmarish 'doomsday' scenario.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 16 December 2015.

John McAfee has revealed In his column for the International Business Times that ISIS was actively recruiting hackers, while China and North Korea have already established programs devoted to 'weaponised computing'. Obviously, conventional weapons and the arsenal of bullets, bombs, tanks, planes, boats, missiles and nuclear capabilities are rivaled by few, and likely exceeded by none. These are irrelevant when it comes down to cyber war and these weapons and equipment could be turned against us by using computers.
If the U.S. was unable to protect its cyber networks and the infrastructure connected to them like power grids, nuclear power stations, planes, cars and the finance industry, it would remain susceptible to hackers.
As to John McAfee, in 2012 he lived in Belize, where he claimed to have exposed high-level corruption before fleeing while being sought by police for questioning about a suspected murder. He was later deported to the U.S. from Guatamala, where he is now running a campaign for the 2016 Presidency.
