to explore for traces of life

From previous observations of Jupiter and its moons, it was found that the three moons are Jenymeck, Callisto and Europa.

It is a moon covered in ice and there is evidence that

There is a large amount of water under the ice covering the surface of the three moons.

Based on human knowledge and experience that where there is water, there is always life that can arise and exist.

For the year 2023, the negative factor that will cause the Doomsday Clock to be adjusted closer to the time of the Great Cataclysm is

The more midnight it will be

But the biggest factor is

Effects of the Russo-Ukrainian War

which started on February 24, 2022 until now and is likely to extend further into 2023.

In January 2022, the five leaders of nuclear weapons nations --

-- issued a joint declaration to prevent nuclear war and end the nuclear arms race.

It is important that

this joint statement

plays an important role in easing tensions in the global community and is believed

And Russian President Vladimir Putin's decree "to keep nuclear forces in a state of readiness for special military operations" has made the easing at the beginning of 2022 "tensioned" again from the middle. year 2022 and must keep an eye on that

How will the Doomsday Clock be reset in January 2023?

It includes scientists, computer experts, artificial intelligence, security experts, science communicators and former NASA astronauts.

NASA announced the reason for the creation of a special team that

But NASA said

The goal of the project is to gather as much information as possible to report on unexplained airborne phenomena.

To systematically plan for further studies and provide more open answers.

NASA said the results of this special team's study

It should be completed on target around the middle of 2023 and the results of the study will be disclosed to the general public.

(10) Cybercrime

COVID-19 has affected people of almost all professions, including students.

Must work or study online at home

with clear information that

computer crime or

cybercrime

In the year 2023, the fear of COVID-19 has decreased considerably, causing people and students to

Back at the office and studying at academia (except for those who are "stuck" in the new way of working online), it's worth watching.

What will be the situation of cybercrime in 2023?

From 2019 to 2021, according to data from

US Internet Crime Complaints Center.

Cybercrime damages in the US increased from $3.5 billion in 2019 to $4.2 billion in 2020 and to $6.9 billion in 2021, consistent with the working situation. The huge increase in online traffic in 2020 and its sequels in 2020.

For Thailand, statistics from

in March 2022 indicate that more than 50 percent of Thais have experienced online scams.

During the past year, 2 out of 5 people are trusted and victims of cybercrime.

The average damage was about 2,400 baht per person.

And on November 7, 2022, the Minister of Digital Economy and Society Mr. Chaiwut Thanakmanusorn said that since March 2022, there have been reports of crimes. Online up to approximately 100,000 cases and related damages of approximately 20 billion baht. Cybercrime is therefore a serious threat to the country's economy and society and requires more intensive prevention and suppression measures.

Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), Royal Thai Police

is the agency directly responsible for the prevention and suppression of

Investigate and investigate threats from computer crime.

In connection with the spread of COVID-19

It's interesting to keep an eye on that.

When people and students return to work

and study at the office and at the educational institution

Will it affect the further decrease or increase prevalence of cybercrime?

But there is a warning, don't expect too much.

As fewer people work and study online

will significantly reduce cybercrime as well

Because cybercrime has been going on for a long time.

Before the spread of COVID-19

and the trend of using digital technology that increases diversity

and capacity

as well as the complexity from the advancement of digital technology

It makes future predictions more difficult.
