Kuberaanvalle gaan waarskynlik meer word namate konnektiwiteit toeneem
Kuberaanvalle is besig om toe te neem namate die wêreld meer gekonnekteer raak en die belonings groter is. Volgens ’n akademikus van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) gaan die moontlike belonings vir kuberaanvallers toenemend groter word namate meer aspekte van ons daaglikse lewens met mekaar verweef en van aanlyn interaksie afhanklik raak.

Bertie Jacobs An Eagle does not have fangs, but they do have claws. However, should the NWU Eagles have had the former, they probably would have used them on the NMMU Madibaz too.
