The Hackback Debate
Stewart Baker and Orin Kerr, November 2012
The vulnerability of computer networks to hacking grows more troubling every year. No network is safe, and hacking has evolved from an obscure hobby to a major national security concern. Yet few cyberspies or cybercriminals have been caught and punished. Law enforcement is overwhelmed both by the number of attacks and by the technical unfamiliarity of the crimes. Can the victims of hacking take more action to protect themselves? Can they hack back and mete out their own justice?

14 Global Cybersecurity Challenges for 2013
By David Gewirtz, January 2013
Cybercrime, cyberespionage, and straight out cyberattacks will increase in both frequency and ferocity over the next 12 months.The bottom line is 2013 will hurt. When it comes to cyber-preparedness, we are not in the best position. Getting our senior executives, politicians, friends, and family to pay attention and pay for security is perhaps our biggest challenge.
