"Network security" is major national interests. U.S



Major U.S. Internet regulations of the telecommunications act put forward the interests of the United States need to make sure and: national security minors, intellectual property and computer security. National security need not say oneself, and intellectual property rights and computer security directly involving the American's backbone interests - the Internet industry. Minors are the country's future, their growth is the healthy development of society.



However the above these interests are safe? American network security expert Richard Clarke thinks that, informationization level is high a major weakness of America instead, Internet crime will be more rampant, harmful information will be more flood.



In fact, America's network system once attacked and its consequences as very serious. The United States, for example, on February 7, 2000, hacker incidents happened eight large web sites for 24 to 72 hours, paralyzed total losses as high as 3 days over a billion dollars; In 2005, one of America's largest credit card companies of the 40 million users mastercard bank information obtained by hackers, precipitate America's most large-scale credit card user information leak case; In May 2006, the veterans affairs department, involving theft events occur data more than 200 million soldiers, national guard members and reservists personal information.



According to American media, the congress of the United States, government most departments, the university and the enterprise - in fact, any contact with the Internet, is worth a theft and destruction of information organization -- became hacker attacks target. Fbi director Robert mueller last played in a network security conference say, "some industry insiders will this situation. We compared to cut in little by little lose data, intellectual property rights, information and source code, and, in some cases, the lost data," inestimable.



In addition, the website of speech and some extreme pornography once induce a flood of more terror incidents and adolescent infringement cases, more triggered social unrest mood.



Harvard University professor, "soft power" theory ShouChangZhe Joseph s. nye, Jr. at the end of February also wrote in the New York times, said for America, the biggest loss is a cyberspy behavior and all kinds of Internet crime caused by, but the next 10 years, the network warfare and network terrorism may become more of a threat.



In the age of the Internet to American weakness, Obama government cried foul. Obama thinks, network security has become the national economic and national security faces one of the most serious challenges.
