Cyber Attacks Becoming Top Terror Threat
I read the article: Cyber Attacks Becoming Top Terror Threat
published February 1st 2012, source was Information Week Government http://www.livebinders.com/play/play/283368.
I read this article because the title caught my eye. When we were learning
about how there are all these ways to break into computer systems and how
people can just go in and look at what your doing on your computer it is
scary. I recently learned that
because I have a Mac it links to all the other Macs in my building or on this
campus, so if I wanted to I could use my computer and share a screen with
someone who has a Mac and watch everything they do and they wouldn’t even know
and vice versa.
I
feel like technology has become such a big part of this Nation that it is
definitely a top threat to our Country.
If other countries have access to all of our files and everything that
is kept secret then we are going to have a lot more then terrorist’s attacks on
our hands.
In
this article it discussed how congress’ interest in cyber security remains
high. It also talks about how the
committee on homeland security is marking up cyber security bill later this
month. The senate has indicated
that they may hold a hearing on that bill in the next two weeks. I feel as though this issue is being
rushed to the senate’s attention because it is a serious matter at hand.
I
think the most concerned feeling I have towards this is what is going to happen
if we do have a cyber attack? How
is this country prepared? We all
think the Internet is fun and games and that keeping our lives on a computer is
a good idea but it could really potentially hurt you in the future. I feel as though something is going to
happen such as a cyber threat in the beginning and then progressively get worse
with time, just because that’s how quickly technology is advancing. I am happy to live in an age with so
much technological advancements but it also has its drawbacks.
This is a very interesting article jensen and i admire your hard work you put into this its tells me that your a determined student. I hope to read more of your blogs!
