The Internet: Where Did IT All Go Wrong?

Tags:
network security

Overview It's hard to imagine life today without all of problems that the Internet has introduced: phishing attacks, cyber-bullying, data theft on a scale never before imagined, spam, distributed denial-of-service attacks, ransomware, spyware, website defacements, and so on, none of which will disappear any time soon, despite the best efforts of the myriad purveyors of security systems, or the specialist IT crime units that have been set up alongside traditional police forces throughout the world. This analysis assesses the various ways in which the Internet has changed lives, and the problems that it has brought. It also offers suggestions and advice as to how the effects of those problems can be mitigated in the future.
