Re: The Hacking Going On And The Breaching Of Computer Networks/Infrastructure...... [View all]

by criminal foreign and domestic hackers.

I'm wondering if it is possible for our brilliant computer experts here in the U.S. to develop programs that would put in jeopardy or even destroy the hackers systems as they attacked and attempted to hack companies, agencies, businesses, systems and utilities in the future.

We have very savvy computer experts here in the U.S..

It would seem to me that they could develop programs that when incorporated into a computer system or network immediately detect attempted hacking and turn that hacking attempt around and actually destroy the hackers computer system.

Wouldn't that be a great deterrence to prevent any future hacking?

If the hackers knew that their expensive systems would be rendered useless - wouldn't that make them think twice about even trying to make the attempt to hack?

It would seem to me that an initiation of such a formal and organized undertaking (maybe even elevated to the importance of putting a man on the moon) would be the wise and judicious thing for us to pursue.

These hacking threats will only get more frequent and destructive. We need to act now and very decisively to put a stop before we get into a situation that can severely cripple us in the future. There is too much at stake.
