Increasing Cyber Threats


New wave of cyber attacks around the world on sensitive installations prove that cyber threat has become reality in these days. Despite growing cyber attacks world community is doing nothing to prevent this threat. It seems true that  big powers are preparing for possible cyber war, hiring hackers and enhancing their cyber capabilities.
 
After increasing cyber attacks battle of words is still going on between US, China, Russia and Iran everyone is accused each other of cyber attacks but no one want to face realties. After popularity of social media  extremist organizations are widely  using internet these days to enhance their agenda they also  launched several cyber attacks against their rivals and threat is growing. Financial and economic affects is more disastrous and Cyber war is more harmful than normal war and we can easily imagine its harmful affects Recent cyber attack on oil giant Armco net work affected thirty thousand computers and Armco is still struggling to cope with this attack.
 
Qatar Gas giant Ras Gas is also victim of recent cyber attack and trying hard to prevent any further attack. Off shore oil Rugs of another country is affected after cyber attack and harm operation capabilities and production of oil. Big countries are also paying a price and battling against cyber threats. Six  US bank including Bank of America is also victim of recent attacks. Hacking of customers accounts, stealing of credit cards and forged information on net is becoming daily routine in these days. Although some countries have introduced tough laws against cyber crimes but at the time when poverty is growing in third world countries and Europe is facing worse financial crises most of countries are not able to allocate extra funds to prevent cyber threats. Only tough laws against cyber crimes and interest of big powers can improve further deterioration situation.
