God created everything with its pros and cons, even God could not create something prefect, so same thing would happened to creation of human being. The greatest creation of human kind in this century is Information Technology. Even thought it brings convenience towards the citizen of the world, still some problems arise from it. The problem we are facing today is the hazards of high-tech crime and the difficulty of keeping data secure.
“Hacking” origins from the word “cracking“. This word of this term came because hackers will using the code to crack open fire wall. Hacking is done by someone is trying to break codes and collecting others personal data. The hacking is done by hackers that has different kind of motives such as trying to get others information, for example like breaking the firewall of bank and entering the information of bank’s data to get clients data such as hand phone number, house address and their bank details. This is used to blackmail. This hacking process is done by using c++ and command proms. There is many kind of command methods for hacking used by hackers such as, Vulnerability scanner is used to check the weakness of the serves of banks, personal companies. This allow the hackers to break the firewall and steal their personal and important document, Packet Sniffer captures TCP/IP data packets, which can maliciously be used to capture passwords and other data while it is in transit either within the computer or over the network. The most commonness hacking methods is using Trojan horse a program designed as to seem to being or be doing one thing, such as a legitimate software, but actually being or doing another. They are not necessarily malicious programs but can be. Then is virus and worms is use to hack and crack by hackers. This are the methods is use to hack the banks and personal data and use this data to blackmail and threaten the victims. Those are the way used by hackers to hack data, there must be a way to protect our personal data from being stole, there a many kind of anti-virus, and anti-hacking software use to protect the serves and also stop hackers from stealing our information. This one the of hazard of internet security that we have to look very seriously to protect our personal data for others to know our personal data. This did may lead to more problems such as a big threat to country and for the world, because it will lead us to lost of money and precious time that we can use to development of man kind. This problems need be solve by law and enforcement to stop hackers to rule our world.
In this digitized world where massive amounts of our data can be compromised by a single lost laptop or an individual’s identity can be swiped by an outline phishing expedition, the need for information security is vital. Even more insidious than phishing, pharming redirect traffic to legitimate sites to fake ones, where scammers can harvest username and password. It is truly becoming more and more difficult to protect personal and confidential privacy in this information age. Personal datas are usually sold and published by irresponsible people who breach the terms and conditions of personal privacy to the highest bidder with just a few keystrokes on computer. Many sites casually solicit personal info without fully disclosing their policies and intentions. We fear our personal data may be misused by fraudsters. Personal information like full name and phone numbers are usually leaked by high-tech criminals to credit card and insurance company who seek our service. Fraudsters use email messages and fake customer service phone numbers to lure unsuspecting targets into revealing personal information. Not only that, personal datas like pictures that are posted on websites like Friendster and Facebook are also exposed to threats like modification, destruction and unauthorized use. High tech criminals can access our pictures and use it for other purposes. For instance, the sex scandal of Hong Kong actress and actor, Gillian Chung and Edison Chen became known publicly when the sex pictures and videos of them were regulated in the internet. High-tech crime is so serious that this could bring humiliation and tarnish one’s reputation by just revealing one’s personal life. This could also encourage blackmailing of personal privacy. We should always be careful because the cost of obtaining information may be disclosing personal data .
In those olden days, company’s top trade secret was documented in paper and file form. During that time, company’s top secret would not be leak out easily, unless it is given out by the company’s board. Years by years, as the technology develops rapidly, nowadays most of the companies no longer using paper and file for documentation. Everything, from tiny digits to top sealed secret, is key into the computer. The computer carries every single bit data of a company. Thus, to obtain the secretive information of a company, one does not have to depends to the worker in the company anymore. High-tech criminals just have to break down codes and layers of firewall, and easily the confidential information will drop into their hands. Neither gigantic companies nor small companies are facing the same problem; this worsen until it become a worldwide enigma. No matter how strong is the firewall protection, the always-more-advanced high-tech criminals will have the way to intrude company’s system. Billions and billions of dollars is funded just to keep the secrets safe from the high-tech intruders; laws have been enforced against illegal firewall breaking and the action of pinching one company’s information, but the criminals are hard to be traced, consequently the circumstances could not be cured, and it seems to be worsen. This will not only affects the company’s profit, but it involves the economic change in certain country, or even the world economy. Besides that, the data of customers are hard to be totally protected from the intrusion of high-tech criminals. For example, by using passwords and identifications from legitimate customers, thieves successfully broke into data bases owned by an U.S.A information company, LexisNexis, about 32,000 U.S. citizens’ information was purloined. They use personal information to do all kind of offensive actions, without any notification of the particular owner of information. This shows how large the impact of high-tech crime on individual, nation or even the world.
Nowadays, confidential data of a particular country and military is restricted to the public, especially the opponent country, as they will try to obtain opponent’s secrets, to disturb their unity, peace, harmony and economy value; because of that, the government and military try to protect their important data from being revealed by the others. Both government and military play crucial role in keeping the country’s secret by being known by the others. The military is not only saving us from enemies, but also protecting us by keeping the important data secured. The U.S government defines top secret as “Top secret classified secrets, state secrets privileges, national security and the ability of federal government officials to declare that there are things that Americans citizens should not know, as knowing such things would, undoubtedly, prove detrimental to the ability of government official’s to efficiently control the thought and action of American citizens.” However, those secrets are not fully protected because of the presence of high-tech crimes. For example, three military laptops with secured data missing (from the information Time Online, January 21, 2008), it is very clear that these laptops contains the personal data of 600,000 people. In other country, the government do keep their confidential data secret in their own way. But hackers always have their toes stand in this military field. They are paid by another country to crack through the virtual defence wall of the country, and obtain their confidential secrets. From this, it clearly shows that high-tech crime do happen in high level security zone, until that it involves government and military.
Furthermore, In this globalization era, everything has now been globalize including terrorism. Information technology is at the heart of modern terrorism and it is globalization now. As we use internet to communicate with another person that in another part of earth, it bring them closer. Because of this reason, they can hide their planning or preparation by using information technology. In addition, some of them begin targeting information technology, as well as using IT as a weapon, for example with attacks against critical infrastructures and cyber terrorism. Now, every country in this earth, need to against the terrorism not only with critical infrastructure protection, and also the cyber-conflict. Each country have to protect their own country computer system to avoid the terrorism hack or stole the top secret of their country. So, we risk losing our protection or safety of a country to develop information technology though it bring a lot of benefits to us .terrorism is gone from bomb blasting to cyber terrorism, this way is much more faster and affection to bring down the enemy. This is a big threat to our country it will destroy the world. This did must be stop as soon as possible, this can be done by law and by creating new kind software to stop the terrorism like, anti-terrorism, this can be use to stop the terrorism
