1. Auto-Phishing<br />

Hackers set up wireless networks that<br />

people use to connect to the Internet<br />

when driving. Then the hackers use<br />

those autoconnections to steal<br />

personal information.<br />

2 Bank Morphing<br />

Hackers set up duplicate online bank<br />

sites to gain access to personal and<br />

corporate banking accounts<br />

3. DEPs<br />

Hackers create DEPs, digitally<br />

engineered personalities, that pose as<br />

the account holders to gain access to<br />

the funds in the accounts.<br />

4. ID Clones<br />

Hackers set up digital clones of real<br />

people with stolen identities and<br />

conduct global business, open<br />

accounts, transfer funds, make<br />

transactions, take out loans, and then<br />

disappear with the loot.<br />

5. Data Assassins<br />

Hackers kill off personal or corporate<br />

data history and set up new histories<br />

to create new identities to secure<br />

funds, contracts, products, services.<br />

etc.<br />

6. Rogue Knowledge Engineers<br />

Hackers with sophisticated capability<br />

create secret portals to banks, stock<br />

exchanges and currency-trading<br />

networks in which all actions are selfliquidating,<br />

so that the theft is never<br />

even seen or recorded.<br />

7. NanoBots<br />

Hackers send out wireless<br />

smart robots with nanoscale<br />

antennas that watch consumers’<br />

behavior, reveal buying habits,<br />

and send back info.<br />

Video cameras in every office and public space.<br />

Databases holding financial information on consumer<br />

purchases.<br />

Personal genomic databases where records about your<br />

DNA are stored.<br />

Use of DNA analysis for jobs, advancement, and<br />

relationships.<br />

transportation.<br />

performance.<br />

All internet phone or e-mail communications.<br />

RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chips in all consumer and<br />

industrial products.<br />

Interactive two-way digital TV.<br />

GPS chips in all computers, cars, phones, and kids.<br />
