Good vs Evil
Our country has been attacked in many ways, most of them are thru violence. Now here is a new threat that has even more potential than any other method
used to attack another country. This method is referred as "hacking." It may not appear to be a huge threat but it could severely hurt our country. Yahoo News has stated that "the growth
in the number of hackers, the software tools available to them, and the
thriving economic underground serving them have made any computer
network connected to the Internet impossible to defend flawlessly." The internet is not a place that you can hide something and someone never finding out about it. Nowadays everything can be hacked and with the increasing number of knowledgeable
hackers, it will only become harder and harder to protect private
information from them. Dell Inc's chief security officer, John McClurg stated that "They outspend us and they out man us in almost every way," The leaders in the technological world are being hit and targeted by hackers from all directions, the work load is increasing and the number of hackers is
only rising. We may indeed already be in a war with hackers across the earth. "The attacks are not only from China,
which Washington has long accused of spying on U.S. companies, many
emanate from Russia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Western
countries." Hackers have only one goal, that goal is to mess with people just because of differences. I don't think it's right that we can't even trust the internet without the risk of being hacked and them stealing important information such as credit card numbers or Social Security Numbers. http://news.yahoo.com/analysis-near-impossible-battle-against-hackers-everywhere-080356080.htm
