China’s drone development program. The government and military are striving to put China at the forefront of drone manufacturing, for their own use and for export, and have made an all-out push to gather domestic and international technology to support the rogram. (NY Times, 09/20/2013, Edward Wong) The example mentioned above is one of the simplest attacks on US industrial data. There were major attacks like: breaching the Pentagon data and obtaining important information about US military secrets. The US government established departments called cyber-police; their main job is to fight against cyber-crimes. For example, these people can be from police department or government’s secret service agencies. Cyber police catch hackers, people who steal identity on the internet, child predators and many more.
Also, law nforcement agencies work with giant computer manufacturing companies to fght against cybercrime. For instance, “Microsoft employees, accompanied by United States marshals, raided two nondescript office buildings in Pennsylvania and Illinois on Friday, aiming to disrupt one of the most pernicious forms of online crime today ” botnets, or groups of computers that help harvest bank account passwords and other personal information from millions of other computers.
” (The Times’ Nick Wingfield and Nicole Perlroth, 03/26/12. ) Cyber policing is not only in the US but also all over he world where the internet is available.
For example, “The Metropolitan Police Cyber Crime Unit has arrested three men over their involvement in a El . 3m cyber raid on a Barclays bank branch in London. The Met confirmed charging 38-year-old Adam Jefferson, 24-year-old Duane Jean-Jaque and 25-year-old Lanre Mullins-Abudu for conspiracy to steal. The police also confirmed Jean-Jaque is a former Barclays employee. All three have been bailed and are scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 15 October. ” (v3. co. uk, Alastair Stevenson, 10/11/13) If I had a hance, I would seek employment at a cyber-police unit, because they enable people safe surfing on the internet.
Their Job mainly consists of searching possible criminals or breaching suspected websites and getting data’s from these websites. If they find something that affects US citizens or US government, they immediately let their fellow law enforcement agents know. Moreover, cyber-police prevents many crimes like cyber cyber stalking is “threatening behavior or unwanted advances directed at another using the Internet and other forms of online and computer communications. ” Cyber ullying is similar to cyber stalking but draws its distinction through demographics.
