Welcome to blt atlanta . 2L The media portrays hackers romantically as either dark anti-heroes of the technology age or geeky teens gone a little too far, however, their victims know otherwise.
Hackers are the scourge of the Internet.
Every year businesses and individuals spend millions to prevent, eradicate, and otherwise stem the tide of hacker activities. The cost to businesses is especially high. Citibank lost ten million dollars when a Russian crime group compromised its system. MCI lost fifty million dollars when hackers downloaded thousands of credit card numbers. But jurisdictional issues limit the act both domestically and internationally.
