The Prediction
In 2017 Zohar was invited to CBS to speak about the potential threats and to again bring awareness to the skyrocketing malware and cyber attacks against hospitals, banks, law enforcement agencies, and small businesses.
In that same interview, Zohar Pinhasi predicted the magnitude of a series of cyber attacks that eventually affected thousands of people.
