Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Cyberattack disables 11 French TV channels,
takes over social media sites
No firewall is perfect. Attackers seem to
learn the defense mechanism of the wall by unlimited number of accesses.
Furthermore, many of such hackers have unlimited time and resources as well as extremely
high level of passion, motivation and sophistication. On the other hand, those
who try to defend the system have hard time matching such powerful individuals
as they are limited in number, time and budget. As a result, the White House
and Defense Ministry in America and TV channels and their web sites in France
were all hacked by unknown hackers just in a week. Even one-time security ID
systems of Japanese banks were found to be breached.
What is safe or unsafe in the cyberspace?
Enjoy reading and learning the recent
breach of a supposedly-secured firewall.
