2,4 (hacking, Anonymous interview)

C.    potential for hacking any of the above       

And what if it's a hack?  What if it's a dedicated or proficient computer hacker or group of hackers.  The prospect for hacking is material for a documentary in itself.  The quantity of Fortune 500 businesses and govt. organizations that have been dealt a cybersecurity setback due to hacking is impossible to grasp.  Making the problem even worse, many hacking incidents get covered up or go unreported for obvious reasons.  Needless to say, if it's a hack, all bets are off. 

Does anyone recall the hacking of the Fox News Politics Twitter account - "Obama is Dead" screen shots (July 4, 2011)








Anonymous - Better than asking who was the latest hacking victim, the superior question is to ask, which organizations allocate more money on cybersecurity.
Just who is more secure?   Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman or Marshall and West Virginia Universities, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation or either of the NFL teams in the state of Missouri (Chiefs and Rams).  Again, who spends more of their budget on computer security... banks like Chase Manhattan and Citibank or Nascar and Indy racing.

Also, is hacking becoming more or less prevalent?  In which direction is it trending?

Anonymous - I would recommend you explore the concepts of widespread multilateration and mass trilateration techniques (used for modern day GPS systems).  Explanation.  This should present an area of serious concern.
