(IT) 미국 사이버 보안 극도로 취약

 

It’s scary when you think about it, how much we depend on computers and the Internet, especially considering the systems never been more vulnerable취약한. In a recent survey, three quarters of businesses and organizations claimed they experienced a cyber attack last year. This week, it was reported that hackers have been able to steal critical information from Google. So what’s been done to stop this? Terry McCarthy continues our series, CBS Reports: Where America Stands.

 

Cyberspace, it enables e-mail, electricity grids발전소, international banking and military superiority. We can't live without it, but increasingly, experts say the openness of cyberspace is putting the US in jeopardy위기에 처한. The US is vulnerable because there's no accountability책임, limited security and no international rule of law in cyberspace. Regularly, state-sponsored hackers in Russia and China are attacking government networks. The Pentagon gets 360 million unauthorized probes캐다 everyday.

 

In 2007, the cyber systems of Central Command, the State Department, Department of Commerce and NASA were successfully hacked. They lost millions of pages of classified information. They're not alone. Under constant attack, corporate America is losing critical data to overseas competitors, robbing the US economy of up to $20 billion a year. Two years ago, hackers stole top secret exploration data from oil and gas industry giants Exxonmobil, using custom-made spy ware to bypass anti-virus programs. "It's so widespread now that we face the prospect of entire industries being stolen."

 

While the details of their locations cannot be revealed for security reasons, CBS News has learned that there are factories in China and Southeast Asia that are exact replicas of plants in the United States, built with everything from hacked blueprints and supplier lists down to the settings used to regulate valve pressure for individual machines. "They're stealing all of the information on how to create and run and lay out a factory not just at a basic level, but at maximum efficiency."

 

Most worrisome is the risk to the US power grid, a 6-million-mile web of electrical distribution lines powering up nearly 145 million homes and businesses, all controlled by computer commands and opened to cyber attack. This American hacker, known as Mudge, knows firsthand how vulnerable these systems are. Ten years ago, he bored into구멍을 뚫다 regional telecom and utility networks. Within a week, he worked out how to take most of them down.
