The Coming of the Cyber Wars

With so many people dependent upon the Internet, it’s little wonder that the criminals and terrorists of the world have started to congregate there. While most people don’t realize just how dangerous the web can really be, it’s the Wild West in terms of criminals. In fact, Eugene Kaspersky, one of the world’s leading Internet security specialists, recently said that threat of a cyber war was real and imminent.

The web already has a plethora of crime including fraud, hacking, and espionage, and it’s not likely to stop there. One of the real dangers is that some of the top cyber criminals may have offered their services to terrorists. If that were to happen, there would be chaos across the web that would spill into the real world, and it could have far-reaching effects.

Kaspersky is certainly not the only person who sees an alarming trend in the way that cybercrime is evolving. U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron also sees this as a problem that has the potential to become much larger. The attacks on national security, financial institutions and other sites happen regularly, and the governments of the world are trying to find the best way to handle these threats.

Without imposing restrictions on the way in which people use the web – as they do in China – the United States and the United Kingdom are trying to find other ways to combat cybercrimes and the possibility of an all out cyber war. It’s important for nations to begin to work together to fight these problems, and with the help of computer experts and those in the area of digital forensics, it is possible to stave off this threat. It will take time, a lot of work and a healthy dose of cooperation, certainly, but it is well worth the effort.
