Cyber Crime
Critical infrastructure
There was an attempt of cybercrime on a MoD skynet military sate light by an undersized group of hackers, this brought about a security intrusion which officials could characterized as information warefare, this could be further elaborated as an enemy attacks in terms of military communication disruption. The authority was able to trace the group to as far as southern England. The group managed to gain access to the Mod skynet military sate light and succeeded in reprograming the system in charge of the control before they were discovered. The case was taken over by the joint team of Scotland Yard's Computer Crimes Unit as well as the U.S. Air Force.
It is without doubt that Satellites plays a major role in supporting the existing balance in the universal economy, society, as well as advanced militaries and this has made a number of nations to develop more recognition to sate light in terms of critical infrastructure. Sate lights make available a considerable function in terms of climate as well as monitoring in relation to natural disaster, communication, prior caution systems, worldwide broadcasting, meteorology, direction-finding, exactitude strikes, reconnaissance, remote sensing, observation, as well as the encroachment of science and understanding. According to GOA (2002), satellite services have also been able to play a leading role in relation to telemecine, mobile communication cargo tracking among others. As Space Security Index (2012) estimates, sate light brings about 200 billion dollars annually. As per the gargets availability, UCS Satellite Database (2012) reveals that by December 2012 there were almost 1046 working sate lights which were owned by around 47 nations. Further, Robertson, (2011) talks of close to 1,100 organizations in about 53 nations that also enjoy the services of the outer space (sate light).
This is to say that a considerable interference to...
On the other hand, the manner in which the discussion of interference of the outer space is treated with lack of priority sends very little signals, for instance 2011 Congress report of the United States -- China Economic as well as Security Review Commission did made the topic look cheap. It is understandable that the act of oversimplifying the information my perhaps be attached to some security reasons or even lack of concentration span in relation to intended audience. These sound very dangerous as some people may think that just with some few keystrokes, one can with a lot of ease penetrate the sate light making it look like a fiction and yet it is a matter that needs to be taken care of.
There are a good number of countermeasures that are capable of combating the cyber crime as well as increasing the security, only if they are brought on board in a very effective manner. However much the cyber adversaries potential are at an all-time high, fighting this demon has always remained a top most priority of the entire government.
The capability of the FBI, their statutory authority as well as, expertise in terms of resource combining across a number of programs renders it exceptionally placed in relation to investigating, collecting as well as disseminating intelligence on the subject of encountering cyber crime. They are also seen as a substantial unit of the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative which is the interagency with a priority mandate to take care of the digital infrastructure in terms of national security. Through this Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, the government along with its partners come together purposely to gather intelligence, acquire visibility on the adversaries there after facilitate dissemination of this valuable information to the relevant authorities for decision making. The United States government…

Internet Crimes Deviance: Internet Crimes The Internet has revolutionized everything, from communication and entertainment to business. By one estimate, the Internet contains approximately 487 billion gigabytes (i.e., 487 Exabyte's) of data, and by the end of 2010, there were more than two billion Internet users. Nearly one-quarter of these users are members of social networking sites such as Facebook. There are many reasons for the Internet's extraordinary growth, including its vast applications,
Internet Fraud Every day, fraudsters and hackers find new ways of making a quick buck via the internet. In that regard, the need to familiarize oneself with the principles and measures necessary to avoid falling victim to internet fraud cannot be overstated. This text largely concerns itself with internet fraud and the measures individuals should take to protect both themselves and their businesses from the same. Internet Fraud: An Overview Fraud according to
Internet Security Measures- An Assessment The world of the Internet is truly an amazing and wonderful place where any information on any topic is available, right at your fingertips, with the mere click of a button. The Internet is very much like a huge city where high rises filled with honest people and slums filled with the lower classes coexist side by side; where there are both good people as well
The demonstration of the fear and the potential losses that the industry demonstrate that such fears went largely unrealized and if the industry continues to instead utilize technology and also build specialized systems to offer electronic formats they will not lose, but gain with change. Evaluation: As the information offered in this work is valid and topical it would be prudent for the music industry to look at real potential
Internet censorship could also result in job losses since a court order may compel online search engines in America to block results or domain names. This could contribute to the instant death of some companies, particularly those with limited resources to fight potential legal cases. In addition, concerns have also been raised regarding the possibility of Internet censorship to weaken the protection provided by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that
If the parent will not sign a permission slip stating that they and the child have reviewed the rules, the school should not allow that student internet access. Other precautions include not allowing children to register at any website from school computers. Since one tool predators can use to break down a child's sense of caution is knowledge of the child's real name, parents should pay careful attention to their
