For the 2016 fiscal year, President Obama officially proposed a $14 Billion dollar budget

dedicated to protecting the government from cyber crime. Recently, there have been massive

data breaches from many large companies. So, who are these hackers, and what are they doing

Computer hackers are people who use their computer coding knowledge to bypass security

measures on other machines or websites. There are many reasons why they choose to hack,

but oftentimes, it’s for profit.  Experts suggest that there are “robust economies”

in places like Eastern Europe for stolen information. Social security numbers, credit card numbers

and addresses are the most sought after information on the black market. According to the RAND

report on cybercrime, “the black market can be more profitable than the illegal drug

trade”. Research shows that retail stores and social media are even more targeted today

merchandise suppliers and online sharing websites.

the most prolific hacker-nation. The Chinese government targeted American information systems

and trade secrets, which they then used to their own economic advantage. In a landmark

A report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, claims that

cybercrime costs the global economy more than 400 billion dollars annually. The United States

is one of the most targeted countries. The CSIS also estimates that 200,000 American

jobs are lost every year because of criminal hacking.

There are way more Americans on terrorist watchlists than you might think, but do these

lists actually work how they’re supposed to? Check out this video to learn all about it.
