ProXPN’s Take on the New Wave of Cybercrime
(PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- As reported by networkworld on May 14th 2013, http://www.networkworld.com/news/2013/051413-companies-government-unprepared-for-new-269717.html, a new wave of cyber attacks reportedly aimed at industrial control systems comes at a time when private companies and governments are still struggling to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure.
As per the report, the New York Times wrote in one of their articles that the attacks were aimed mostly at US energy companies. Rather than looking for intellectual property or sensitive information, the hackers were using the probes to look for ways to seize control of processing plants.
According to The Times, Stewart Baker, a partner at the law firm Steptoe & Johnson and a former assistant secretary of policy at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),says, “the fact that senior government officials whom they interviewed were unable to pinpoint the source of the attacks, indicates the lapse in the work of the intelligence community”.
