1. The amount of anti-hacker laws, government agency cooperation, and physical resources used today is not enough to prevent cyber strikes or terrorism. Tougher anti-hacker laws, more physical resources, and closer government agency cooperation should be enacted in order to effectively thwart future cyber strikes. The laws in place today, along with the resources available, I feel do not help in preventing future cyber strikes or terrorist attacks. The government monitors the internet in hope of preventing cyber strikes, but they way they monitor the Internet, a hacker or terrorist could easily pass through their security. There are numerous hackers out in the world today, that can hack and have hacked into government computers, and can easily steal high class information. This information could be passed along to terrorists or could also be terrorists themselves, and could allow them to get access to high class information which could be used against the United States. Many experts believe, “A successful electronic attack could interrupt power supplies to millions of homes, disrupt air traffic control systems and thus airlines, shut down water supplies, cut off access to emergency 911 services and delay million of dollars in financial transactions.” Stricter laws should be put into effect that will allow the United States to capture and persecute hackers that break into high class government agency computers. There should also be a better way of protecting the government computers from hackers, such as developing better software or hardware that will block all non-government computers to access or hack into government computers. Without stricter laws or closer government cooperation, cyber strikes or using computers as a way for terrorists to get information, is only going to get worse and will be harder to prevent further into the future.
