A paragraph from my studies I found rather interesting, and thought you
might
too.
{Hacking has become a serious problem, with new reports of hacking
attempts into private or government computers occurring almost daily. For
example, U.S. Department of Defense computers are attacked by hackers
hundreds of thousands of times a year, with probably many more times that
number of attacks going undetected. Many feel, in fact, that hacking is
one of the most serious threats to our nation's security. For example, in
19997 the National Security Agency hired 35 professional hackers to
perform simulated attacks on the U.S. electronic onfrastructure. During
that exercise, the hackers achieved access to 36 of the Department of
Defense's 400,000 networks, turned off sections of the U.S. power grid,
shut down parts
of the 911 network in Washington, D.C., and gained access to systems
aboard
a Navy cruiser at sea. Aother example of the potential threat hackers to
our
defense occured during the Gulf War when it was reported that Dutch
hackers stole information about U.S. troop movements from U.S. Defense
Department computers and tried to sell that information to the Iraqis.
Fortunately, the
Iraqis thought it was a hoax and turned it down. Hacking also poses a
serious
threat to vulnerable business computer systems.}
