The Ongoing cyber war

The Ongoing cyber war 


The world of cyber crime is as vast as the world of cyberspace. It is hard to be controlled and to get the details of. The documentary by the CBS News on Cyber warfare talks about the cyber crimes in many strata of the society. The documentary talks about the Mafia Boy who was arrested for breaking down the giant websites like yahoo.com, cnn.com, amazon.com etc. The young generation, especially the school students find hacking as a game and shows great interest in learning the hacking software. Internet also provides hacking toolkits for free through many search engines. Also the documentary features the views and responses of various professional hackers and internet security officials on the cyber warfare. Also the documentary takes an angle from the point of view from the famous IT firms like Microsoft on the cyber warfare.
Cyber warfare also happens between the countries. Countries intrude into other country’s security system through various virus programs and steal all the important information which makes the latter country under security threat. The documentary shows Russia as the main among this category of countries. But now China is one among the most prominent hackers. The cyber war between India and China is the best example for this.
Even though there have been many questions raised on the security of internet cyber warfare continues still threatening many countries’ and individuals’ security.
