cyber cold war???
Over 120 countries have developed weapons of multimedia destruction and these "big guns" are aimed at financial markets, government computer systems, and utilities. Cyber crimes has become a growing issue, now it isn't merely identity theft, its national security. "The Chinese were first to use cyberattacks for political and military goals," James Mulvenon, director of the Center for Intelligence and Research in Washington, was quoted as saying in the report." Just to think if someone crippled the internet in the united states what would happen, communication is key to all circles, this would affect, all businesses and institutions. It would be a great annoyance and cause a lot of unneeded frustrations and potentially leave gaps in security that can lead to robberies and vandalism due the security and alarm systems failing. No myspace, no facebook, and its unclear how long a potential glitch in the system that can have the internet for months or years...then what? I don't know that is kind of scary in a growing digital world
