Hackjacking<\/strong>, is a term used to describe a form of cyberattack where hackers gain control over digital assets, usually through insecure DNS<\/strong>, Web browser Manipulation or Spearphishing<\/strong><\/a> and then go on to exploit this access to perform unauthorized actions or even takeover Critical National Infrastructure – like Transport & Energy Providers.<\/p>\n

Security best practices such as ensuring up-to-date software, using strong, unique passwords, and being cautious of unfamiliar links can help mitigate the risk.<\/p>\n

Nightsleeper, a gripping six-part thriller set primarily on a Glasgow-to-London sleeper train that becomes a high-stakes battleground for hackers, passengers, and a desperate attempt to prevent disaster. The series has been praised for its fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat storytelling, blending elements of a cyber-thriller and a classic disaster narrative. Central to its plot are Abby, a sharp-witted cybersecurity expert played by Alexandra Roach, and Joe, a Met police officer portrayed by Joe Cole. Together, they form a remote team to thwart a cyber-attack, delivering moments of intense tension and adrenaline-pumping action.<\/p>\n

Critics note that while the premise might lean towards the implausible, froma Cybersecurity Experts stand point, it remains worryingly possible. The series also features sly jabs at governmental dysfunction and the UK’s beleaguered rail system, lending it a satirical edge. Though Nightsleeper can occasionally feel overly familiar or unrealistic, it excels in creating a binge-worthy experience that balances intrigue, humour, and strong lead performances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
