Cybercrimes How can ICT be used to prevent cybercrimes?
Cyberterrorism Cyberterrorism refers to the threat of terrorist groups attacking the computer systems of a country and causing harm. In May 2007, websites in Estonia were targeted by hackers due to controversy after a Soviet war memorial was removed. During the attacks, the networks of government ministries and banks were bombarded with so much traffic that they could not work. This was a ‘denial-of-service’ attack. In May 2010, the United States appointed General Keith Alexander as the head of the newly formed United States Cyber Command. Do you think ICT is more widely used to promote or prevent acts of terrorism?
