Hacker attacks on U.S. Federal Government up 35%

In 2010 34,000 attacks against the U.S Federal government. Last year 2013 46,000 hacker attacks against our government. Cyber spying is way up.

What kinds of things are people after?

Army Core of Engineers was hacked, what was taken was information about 85,000 dams across the U.S. in regard to where they are located and how many fatalities would occur if these dams were breached in every case.

Are we not spending enough money? What's going on?

10 billion dollars was spent on information security

That's not really the problem.

The problem is "Human Error"

People at these sites are clicking on links in their emails who work at these sites which are allowing malware to come into systems nationwide and worldwide.

So, the real problem is unaware or not sophisticated enough users who do  stupid things because no one has taught them how to protect their systems or they just don't care.

The above is from "Wolf" with Wolf Blitzer with is an Internationally Broadcast CNN program from a security analyst.

In the last war the statement was "Loose lips sink Ships"

In this Cyber War it might be "Don't click on links you aren't sure of" or the country could fall, especially if you are at work at the time.

Because when you are at work for a company or the Government what you click on in your emails really matters as to whether that company or government stays in existence or not now.

This is why I believe either the Internet is going to be severely modified soon or many companies and governments are going to fall soon or be so undermined by this that that cease the ability to function.

The U.S. likely will create workarounds that may work for us. However, other countries less wealthy might be kind of screwed and go under from pilfering of sensitive information through the Internet and Emails and outright robbery of money from their banking accounts.

I no longer do any banking online of any sort. It's just too dangerous anymore to do this.

And the wealthier you are the more true this is.

If banks get hit they have insurance for this. The average person if their passwords to their bank accounts get hit and their credit cards or debit accounts are maxxed out by crooks or nation states those individuals don't usually have insurance that covers this kind of thing so they loose everything.
