Comments on: China’s cyberspies aren’t the only ones prowling Internet http://lastwatchdog.com/chinas-cyberspies-arent-prowling-internet/ on Internet security by Byron Acohido Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:38:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Thom VanHorn http://lastwatchdog.com/chinas-cyberspies-arent-prowling-internet/#comment-1369 Thom VanHorn Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:16:08 +0000 http://lastwatchdog.com/?p=4073#comment-1369 Great post, Byron. Google and other organizations that store data have a responsibility to protect it -- and they should be held accountable. We can assume that commercial organizations are regularly attacked by Chinese operatives. You hear this frequently in off the record conversations. One of the problems is nobody wants to publicly talk about being hacked – and a lot of major organizations don’t even know if they have been because they don’t monitor their data. If an organization is storing sensitive information, they need to assess their databases to make sure they are not vulnerable. And they need to monitor them in case somebody does try to attack. There are lots of tools to accomplish this – and it needs to be an IT priority. Thom VanHorn, Vice President, Global Marketing, Application Security, Inc. Great post, Byron.

The cybersecurity situation is creating chaos within the corporate sector & Intel community alike. This situation with the Chinese and Google only scratches the surface of the number of cyberattacks that have occurred and are continuing to occur everyday. The number of companies/industries that are "collected" against and sustain serious losses via corporate/industrial espionage are staggering, however I would venture to say that we hear about less than 5% due to the serious financial & economic implications that would be revealed to the stock holders and public at large. Thank you for your vigilance on keeping us informed on this subject. Best regards, J.D.LeaSure CEO ComSec LLc Byron,
