Cyber Attacks

Should the American People be concerned about a cyber attack? Dos it show our vulnerability of what can happen in a much bigger magnitude. Many may say how can this even happen with all the security precautions there can possibly be. The powerful attack that stretched on for days over the holiday weekend targeted dozens of government and private sites, and underscored how unevenly prepared the U.S. government is to block such multi pronged assaults. While Treasury Department and Federal Trade Commission Web sites were shut down by the malicious software attack, others such as the Pentagon and the White House were able to fend it off with little disruption. All Fingers are pointing to North Korea, officials said that while Internet addresses have been traced to North Korea, that does not necessarily mean the attack involved the Pyongyang government. How would the US Government , or matter fact the Internet to better protect its self from situations like this. Should this matter be shrugged off and ignored? We have heard many times over security breaches over the Internet from time to time in the past. Is the Internet just one big HACK to begin with.
