Are You Equipped to Deal with Sophisticated Hacking?
The hacker community has grown over the years despite all protective and preventive
measures taken by organizations.
The current generation of hackers can execute security
attacks ranging from the simplest to the most complex.
They can steal passwords
and account numbers from laptops and personal PCs, infiltrate company networks and
dig out trade secrets, support terrorist networks and induce attacks, destroy satellite
systems of the neighboring countries, or cause financial turbulence and create economic
pandemonium for political gains.
While this is a matter of great concern giving organizations sleepless nights and unending
worries, a number of hacking activities go unreported as companies fear negative
publicity.
Institutions like Heartland Payment Systems and Microsoft have been victims
of such hacking activities.
Also, security lapses in the websites of British Royal Navy,
the US Army and NASA were exploited by hackers.
