...The War Against Cyber Criminals
The high-profile cyber-attacks and hacks of the past year have drawn a mainstream spotlight from western governments to cybersecurity. Attackers believed to be from North Korea hacked into Sony Pictures Entertainment at the end of 2014, stealing vast amounts of data and intellectual property.
