Recommended: Impacts of cyber terrorism on military

Syberian “Logic Bomb” of 1982 State cyber-attacks are characterized by nations trying to infiltrate, shutdown, gather information or de-stabilized another nation, state, or country. These attacks are funded and protected by their respective governments and are targeted at either the other states agencies, contractors that are working for them, or any other entity that brings a crucial service to that state. Currently laws are being created to treat this types of attacks since this is a new form of terrorism and its ever evolving countries aren’t head to head with them so they try to accommodate as best as they can, but usually fail. Now an important distinction is to be made there is a fine line between cyber warfare and cyber terrorism, it usually identified by the fact that there is a known conflict between the involved nations. A great of example of this is the Siberian logic bomb attack of 1982. During July of 1981, a group of soviet documents exploiting the intrusion of USSR spies in US industrial sector where revealed by Vladimir I. Vetrov , he was an engineer employed for ...

    ...ary 1997, Earl Edwin Pitts plead guilty on two counts of espionage. On 23 June, Earl Edwin Pitts was sentenced to 27 years in prison by a Federal judge who stated that the former agent was guilty of “the most egregious abuse of trust.” When asked why he spied, Pitts cited a number of grievances he had against the Federal Bureau of Investigations and stated that he “wanted to pay them back.” (12) This could have been prevented if the Federal Bureau of Investigations had a program similar to the Army’s TARP (Threat Awareness Reporting Program) to train fellow employees what to look for and how to report on espionage indicators. Another preventive measure would be to work with employees on job preferences to duty locations, If Earl Edwin Pitts would not have been transferred he would not have thought to get payback and the nations secrets would still be secure today.

  • Catastrophic Telecommunications Cyber Attacks Are Impossible

    878 Words  | 2 Pages

    At this juncture, it may be somewhat difficult to accept the proposition that a threat to the telecommunications grid, both wired and wireless, in the United States could potentially be subject to a catastrophic cyber attack. After careful research on the subject, it appears the potentiality of an event of such magnitude, which either disrupts one or the other grids for a long period or destroys either, is both theoretically and realistically impossible. It may be that proponents—those who advance such theories—equate such “doomsday” scenarios as if a cyber attack would or could be of the same magnitude as a conventional or nuclear military strike. Terms such as “cyber Pearl Harbor,” “cyber 9/11” and “cyber Vietnam” have been used to describes potential catastrophic cyber attacks and yet, “Though many have posited notions on what a ‘real’ cyber war would be like, we lack the understanding of how such conflicts will be conducted and evolve.” (Rattray & Healey, 2010, p. 77). Yet, the U.S. government continues to focus on such events, as if the plausibility of small-scale cyber attacks were not as pressing.

  • The KGB

    2765 Words  | 6 Pages

    Throughout the years most country's governments have established some sort of secret police. No matter what the government called it, whether it is the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or her Majesty's secret service (MI6), whatever name the government used, the international term of "secret police" could always be applied. Many agencies of secret police have had their success and failures, some more than others. The KGB, which in English means "the Committee of Public Safety," has had their share of both successes and failures. Most secret police agencies have been used primarily to obtain information from other countries. This was also a primary goal for the KGB, but one of their other goals, which was just as important, was to keep unwanted outside information from the Russian people. This was only one out of many the KGB's objectives. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to prove that the actions of the KGB were, all in all, a success.
