Many of these attacks are purely criminal. But the most sophisticated are more often the work of states, carried out either directly or by proxies. America and its allies are by no means passive victims. Either America, Israel or the two working together almost certainly hatched the Stuxnet worm, found in 2010, that was designed to paralyse centrifuges at Iran's Natanz uranium-enrichment plant. The Flame virus, identified by Russian and Hungarian experts this year, apparently came from the same source. It was designed to strike at Iran by infecting computers in its oil ministry and at targets in the West Bank, Syria and Sudan. Besides the cyber element of physical warfare, four other worries are: strategic cyberwar (direct attacks on an enemy's civilian infrastructure); cyber-espionage; cyber-disruption, such as the distributed denial-of-service attacks that briefly overwhelmed Estonian state, banking and media websites in 2007; and cyber-terrorism. Gauging an appropriate response to each of these is hard. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
