Cyber crime takes many forms. One of the most insidious is the “cyber attack”, usually targeting an individual or corporation. How targeted attacks (sadly, there are other variations on this theme) happen and what can be done to prevent or curtail them will be discussed in a series of postings here at The Kessler Notebook.
You might be wondering, “If the attack is virtual, where’s the harm?” A future blog topic may well be, “There Are No Victimless Cyber crimes”. Cyber attackers may steal proprietary corporate or personal information. Personal privacy is invaded as well, but the harm comes from what is done with the stolen information. Cyber attackers commit acts of industrial espionage to defamation of character to identity theft. On the corporate scale, hundreds of millions of productivity hours are lost annually. And, when the security surrounding proprietary information that the attackers may or may not want or be able to use is breached, the cost to re-secure this data cannot be calculated.
