Cyber sabotage is an increasingly prevalent problem not only in the United State, but also in the entire world. Industry experts say cyber crimes and cyber sabotage are the biggest fears for 2012 based on the complexity and success of cyber crimes committed in 2011. Anyone can be the victim of cyber sabotage, and it can take many different forms.
Cyber sabotage investigations can be conducted for a wide range of actions, from a harmful and libelous social networking post, all the way up to the hacking and leaking of corporate consumer information such as credit card numbers or industry secrets. Here are some of the damaging ways that cyber sabotage can be used:
Sending out false, negative, or harmful information via websites, social networking, or blogs
Distracting or misleading the public or authorities about someone’s true identity, either to harm their reputation or to hide a criminal
“Hacktivists” use illegally obtained information from computers networks and intranets for political, social, or activist causes
Cyber terrorism can stop, delay, or shut down machines run by computers, such as the nuclear power plants in Iran that were nearly shut down by hackers in 2011
Bombarding a website with data until it is overwhelmed and incapable of completing basic and essential functions
No matter what form cyber sabotage takes, the effects are always harmful, and if it continues, cyber sabotage can lead to defamation of character, slander, libel, financial loss, and diminished moral. Cyber sabotage investigations by ICS are taken very seriously, with the goal of locating the perpetrator of the sabotage and providing proof of the methods used.
