Guided Search: Information Science/Computing, Philadelphia-Area Residents/Citizens

In April 2016, computer technicians at the Democratic National Committee discovered that someone had accessed the organization’s computer servers and conducted a theft that is best described as Watergate 2.0. In the weeks that followed, the nation’s top computer security experts discovered that the cyber thieves had helped themselves to everything: sensitive documents, emails, donor information, even voice mails.

Cyberattacks have become an accepted fact of life, but identity theft and credit card fraud should not be our security priorities. Hackers are already targeting our nation’s transportation, communications, and power systems, and a major hit to any of these could be as devastating to our infrastructure as a nuclear bomb.
