  • Botnets, Cybercrime, and Cyberterrorism: Vulnerabilities and Policy Issues for Congress
    Order Code RL32114 Botnets, Cybercrime, and Cyberterrorism: Vulnerabilities and Policy Issues for Congress Updated January 29, 2008 Clay Wilson Specialist in Technology and National Security Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Botnets, Cybercrime, and Cyberterrorism: Vulnerabilities and Policy Issues for Congress Summary Cybercrime is becoming more organized and established as a transnational business. High technology online skills are now available for rent to a variety of customers, possibly including nation states, or individuals and groups that could secretly represent terrorist groups. The increased use of automated attack tools by cybercriminals has overwhelmed some current methodologies used for tracking Internet cyberattacks, and vulnerabilities of the U.S. critical infrastructure, which are acknowledged openly in publications, could possibly attract cyberattacks to extort money, or damage the U.S. economy to affect national security. In April and May 2007, NATO and the United States sent computer security experts to Estonia to help that nation recover from cyberattacks directed against government computer systems, and to analyze the methods used and determine the source of the attacks.1 Some security experts suspect that political protestors may have rented the services of cybercriminals, possibly a large network of infected PCs, called a “botnet,” to help disrupt the computer systems of the Estonian government. DOD officials have also indicated that similar cyberattacks from individuals and countries targeting economic,

First, it divides the process-attribution-intotwo categories: what-attribution (what kind of attack is this?) and who-attribution (who is responsiblefor this attack?). Then, it analyzes, in detail, how and why our adversaries' use of computer technology blurs the distinctions between what is now cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwarfare. The Article goes on to analyze how and why computer technology and the blurring of these distinctions erode our ability to mount an effective response to threats of either type.

Global communication at the speed of light has become a great asset to both businesses and private citizens. However, there is a dark side to the age we live in as it allows terrorist groups to communicate, plan, fund, recruit, and spread their message to the world. Given the relative anonymity the Internet provides, many law enforcement and security agencies investigations are hindered in not only locating would be terrorists but also in disrupting their operations.

  • The Question of State Sponsored Cyber Terrorism and Espionage Student Officer
    st th The Hague International Model United Nations Qatar 2020 | 21 ​ – 24 ​ of January 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Forum: The Security Council Issue: The Question of State sponsored cyber terrorism and espionage Student Officer: Sebastian Santoni Position: President Introduction On the 27th of April 2007, Estonia experienced the first of a series of cyber attacks which would go on to shape laws, policies, and attitudes within and outside its borders. The country was bombarded by thousands of independent actors, resulting in the complete loss of most internet services for three weeks. The Estonian parliament, banks and media were all targeted in the midst of political disagreements with Russia. Although not the first incident of cyber terrorism, this was definitely one of the most destructive, managing to make an entire country go offline. In response, the world’s first ever regulations concerning actions in cyberspace were drafted, hoping to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. However, incidents of cyber terrorism and espionage continued and remain a major threat to international security. Not only can they create mistrust and paranoia between nations, but also paralyse the organizations and resources core to their economic, social and political stability. This is especially true when such acts are initiated by countries and their related bodies, placing the world’s most sophisticated technology in the wrong hands. As members of the United Nations, it is the responsibility of countries to use their resources, voices and cooperation to strengthen international cyber security and work towards a world where state-sponsored cyber terrorism and espionage are void. Organizations such as the Kaspersky Lab and the Cooperative Cyber Defence Center of Excellence have made strides toward combating the issue, although they are restricted by an acute lack of relevant treaties and laws.
