As cyber policing increases and more resources are poured into it hackers will turn to a new form of malware that surfaced last year with the discovery of Dorkbot/NGRbot. This malware had embedded code that if altered, would self-destruct and wipe out all information on the hard drive. Sophisticated self-destruct mechanisms will be added to malware for hackers to cover their tracks. We could also see it emerge as a component within ransomware, that is, if a ransom isn’t paid with a set time frame, data will be destroyed.
