Cyber Espionage


The invention of the internet changed a lot in our world, many organisations want to use this powerful tool on their advantage.Cyber espionage describes the stealing of secrets stored in digital formats or on computers and IT networks. Internet contains unmeasurable amount of information and a lot of people want to lay their hands on it. Sometimes it is a government which wants to steal some valuable intelligence from another government, sometimes it's just some man who wants to read your e-mail or steal something. In 2012, European security researchers reported that a cyber espionage virus found on personal computers in several countries in the Middle East was designed to eavesdrop on financial transactions and perhaps disable industrial control systems.I'ts all impossible because of the viruses (harmful programmes which can break in into our computers or web and do a lot of bad things), overarching monitoring and satellites (used mainly by an army and governments) which can spy on people. These things wouldn't exist without the internet. Such surveillance is often a violation of privacy, and is opposed by various civil liberties groups and activists. But, in my opinion spying is not always wrong. Cyber espionage may be very handy during some crisis situations if used properly, for example, when army use it to fight with terrorism or when police is trying to find some criminals they can use the monitoring of the city and catch some a bad guy. Using espionage in that way is very profitable and helps to secure the society from the criminals
