Unlike the early days of the web, now it's all about power and money. On the surface, there's a lot of money to be made by infecting people with crap. All the same stuff the local news will talk about occasionally. Click-redirecting ($), bogus spyware apps ($$), phishing for credentials ($$$) and spam botnets full of zombie PCs ($$$$). And then there are the radical groups and governments harnessing the web in other ways, learning the weak-spots and using existing trojans/worms as test-runs to plot future attacks. We've already seen smaller-scale attacks on other countries from Chinese and Russian groups. From election disruptions to news/media black-outs to full on darkening of the net. It's pretty nasty out there. I mean, you're still more likely to have your identity stolen in the real world as opposed to the electronic one so I don't mean we should all hide in our basements. It's just that the web is the next frontier and if you're short on ethics, there's a lot to be gained. For the rest of us, it'll get worse before it gets better. Fellow IT geeks: I'll see you on a darknet when the shit hits the fan!
