Cyber security is a hot button issue today. The data breaches of Anthem, Target, Home Depot, and so many others have opened wide and exposed the issue of poor cyber security. President Barack Obama has even publicly stated that he wants a $14 billion increase in U.S. cyber security. With that said, will government involvement even help protect your identity?
As of now, the answer is no. When the government sponsored malware, Stuxnet, hit the scene it certainly didn’t help. Stuxnet was superior to any criminal malware at the time, but now criminals have been able to copy aspects from it to make even greater malware after Stuxnet was publicly dissected. If the government wants to help the public to fight cybercrime, the answer isn’t by indirectly making better weapons for it.
