cyberterrorism

"Michael used to live the game. Now the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, Sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael's passion. But now every time Michael Sinks, he risks his life. The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine--Kaine's master plan--has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box--if Michael can figure out who his friends really are"--Provided by publisher.

How many others have gone into The Realm already. and failed? And perhaps most important, is he the hero they think he is?"--.

Examines the job of online forensic scientists as they track down traces of coding left by cybercriminals. Explores the nature of online thieving and vandalism as well as how electronic devices like cell phones can be used as evidence.

Provides a comprehensive overview of issues related to cyber warfare. Presents a historical overview of the topic; discusses related problems, controversies, and solutions; offers differing perspectives; and includes profiles of involved individuals. Also features data and primary source documents, resources for further study, a chronology, and a glossary of terms.

The United States military now views cyberspace as the "fifth domain" of warfare, alongside land, air, sea, and space. All of our protection agencies field teams of hackers who launch cyber strikes against enemy targets. These virtual warriors, along with a growing band of private-sector counterparts, are charged with defending us against the vast array of criminals, terrorists, and foreign governments who attack us with ever-increasing frequency and effectiveness.

Provides information on cybersecurity, discussing the central issues, how cybersecurity works, and why it is important.

This book describes cyberattacks which have occurred and the various techniques used, and examines the likelihood of cyberterrorism threatening national and international security.
