The U.S. Government agencies and American businesses are getting hacked on an everyday and increasing basis. Yesterday, the Twitter and YouTube accounts for the U.S. Central Command were broken into and contained the message: "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS." And, as we know, millions of credit card users at various retailers have been put at risk due to hacks.
It seems as if more and more counties are hiring more and more computer nerds to attack U.S. computers. In short, Internet security has been greatly compromised and is virtually non-existent.
The problem is that the U.S. is behind the curve on training qualified computer experts to beat the hackers. As I see it, it is only a matter of a short time before those responsible will be able to bring down the entire U.S. Internet. The resulting chaos would be devastating to U.S. commerce, banking, utilities and communications.
In fact, these enemies may even be more dangerous than I.S.I.S. and Al-Qaeda ever thought of being. And once again, our government is failing us when it comes to national security.
Change all of your passwords regularly. Don't leave your computers on for any length of time when they are connected to the Internet. Keep your security software up-to-date daily. And, although it is no longer politically correct, pray a lot.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
