When Clinton traveled to Russia, known for its hackers and cyber warfare against the United States and other democracies, she didn’t bother to tap into the government-protected email system provided by the State Department. Instead, she continued to communicate through her personal, home-brewed and unsecured server.
We value integrity of information, we value processes, cyber- security. These are things important to the government.
I’m vitally interested in cyber crime and in preparing law enforcement for a time when crime is international in its origins and its consequences.
More organizations than ever are conducting business online. An expanding digital footprint and increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks have created a growing urgency to secure that data and the resources organizations are deploying.
Businesses should be assured that law enforcement will operate with the utmost sensitivity toward victims of cyber attacks.
The fact of the matter is that the United States faces real threats from criminals, terrorists, spies, and malicious cyber actors.
I get bullied for my size, my weight, and my look constantly. It’s something that I’m glad we touched on in WWE. I’m glad we touched on it because it’s real: it’s something that happens in real life to kids all the time, especially in the age of cyber bullying.
I’m the poster child for cyber bullying. It’s hurtful.
Cyber bullies can hide behind a mask of anonymity online, and do not need direct physical access to their victims to do unimaginable harm.
An element of virtually every national security threat and crime problem the FBI faces is cyber-based or facilitated. We face sophisticated cyber threats from state-sponsored hackers, hackers for hire, organized cyber syndicates, and terrorists.
There should be order if the development of the cyber world is to be sustainable.
The FBI is engaged in a myriad of efforts to combat cyber threats, from improving threat identification and information sharing inside and outside of the government to developing and retaining new talent, to examining the way we operate to disrupt and defeat these threats.
Cyber criminals are good… but they cut corners. They don’t spend a lot of time tweaking things and making sure that every aspect of the attack is obfuscated.
I actually think that history has fed off the restlessness of cyber space, of kind of the frantic, segmented nature of the way we lead our lives. People want to be connected.
People ask me all the time, ‘What keeps you up at night?’ And I say, ‘Spicy Mexican food, weapons of mass destruction, and cyber attacks.’
Cyber weapons provide the tantalising possibility of being able to cripple the enemy without inflicting lasting damage on them.
When we look at some of the greatest creative ideas we’ve come up with, they have originated literally from all corners of the world and have crossed all different types of media as well. So while there’s still traditional TV, which is clearly a very compelling media, it’s also cyber, mobile, outdoor.
At Girl Scouts, we are committed to raising awareness about the terrible effects of cyber bullying, and to teaching girls how to recognize the signs of bullying of any sort and extricate themselves or another from a bad situation before it spirals out of control and ends in tragedy.
The threat from cyber criminals and nation states continues to grow. So we need to forge closer partnerships with industry, academia and civil society, and develop the profession to create a more diverse workforce.
I get bullied for my size, my weight, and my look constantly. It’s something that I’m glad we touched on in WWE. I’m glad we touched on it because it’s real: it’s something that happens in real life to kids all the time, especially in the age of cyber bullying.
The threat landscape continues to expand, while cyber threats are continually becoming more sophisticated. This has convinced organizations to expand their security policies and deploy more security solutions.
Some people try to cyber bully me; they try to get to me with words, but that doesn’t really work.
Advanced nation-states are now using cyber power for unrestricted economic warfare and national security-motivated espionage, as well as a force multiplier and signaling instrument in conflicts.
Both cyber and old-fashioned human-intelligence industrial espionage has occurred for decades without any significant retribution by the United States.
Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy.
CISPA permits, but does not require, entities that have been attacked to voluntarily share their knowledge of a cyber threat with each other and with government.
A lot of people have a lot to gain from peddling scare stories about cyber ‘warfare.’
We live in a world where all wars will begin as cyber wars… It’s the combination of hacking and massive, well-coordinated disinformation campaigns.
In order to have greater visibility of the larger cyber threat landscape, we must remove the government bureaucratic stovepipes that inhibit our abilities to effectively defend America while ensuring citizens’ privacy and civil liberties are also protected.
In whose interest is it to hype up the collapse of the Internet from a DDoS attack? Why, the people who provide cyber security services, of course.
Cyber attacks rain down on us from many places. You have to make your systems secure and safe and teach your people cyber hygiene.
I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.
The first step in securing our cyber future is education, and that means everything from educating individuals to companies to the next generation of IT professionals.
The problem with cyber weapons for a country like ours is the ability to control them.
From bank accounts to financial systems, power grids to air traffic controls – our most critical infrastructure remain attractive cyber targets, and if they are ever compromised, the effects could be devastating.
I feel sort of really aware of how the… online cyber world has begun to take over reality.
What was once a comparatively minor threat – people hacking for fun or for bragging rights – has turned into full-blown economic espionage and extremely lucrative cyber crime.
Cyber security is a dynamic space. The user faces different challenges every year because there are always new applications and data.
Can the wider West establish a global ‘cyber NATO?’ It would be difficult, but so, too, was the founding of NATO itself, which was called into being only after successive communist coups in Eastern Europe.
We’ve been worried for some time that one of the ways that North Korea can retaliate against further escalation of tensions is via cyber, and particularly attacks against our financial sector. This is something they have really perfected as an art against South Korea.
Computer hacking really results in financial losses and hassles. The objectives of terrorist groups are more serious. That is not to say that cyber groups can’t access a telephone switch in Manhattan on a day like 9/11, shut it down, and therefore cause more casualties.
Encryption would help prevent a lot of cyber attacks.
Beatbullying’s ‘The Big March 2012’ is such a brilliant campaign and I am very proud to be a part of it. I have been a victim of cyber bullying myself and I know firsthand just how hurtful it can be. People think that they can hide behind computers and send nasty and hurtful comments to people, and this is wrong.
If we take as given that critical infrastructures are vulnerable to a cyber terrorist attack, then the question becomes whether there are actors with the capability and motivation to carry out such an operation.
We won’t sit idly by when a crime is committed in the real world. So why should we when it happens in cyber space?
We are now living on Internet time. It’s a new territory, and the cyber equivalent of the Oklahoma land rush is on.
U.S. computer networks and databases are under daily cyber attack by nation states, international crime organizations, subnational groups, and individual hackers.
