SUMMARY:Cybercrime as a political weapon
DESCRIPTION:Cybercriminals attack people\, organisations and governments 
 for many reasons: malice\, money and fame. However\, in the past few yea
 rs\, a new breed of cybercriminal has emerged: ‘hacktivists’ use their s
 kills to promote a political agenda. They may or may not be directly aff
 iliated with any government or political party\, but their actions can w
 reak havoc in places in which they will never step foot.\n\nGoing beyond
  generally accepted espionage and spycraft\, the most high-profile examp
 le of this so far has been the hack of the United States Democratic Nati
 onal Committee (DNC) and the release of its senior staff’s private email
 s on WikiLeaks\, attributed to groups linked to Russian security service
 s. In the face of this\, how should the US and the rest of the world res
 pond? What can governments\, businesses and individuals do to protect th
 emselves or fight back when attacked?
