HIGH ON COURAGE

The latest trend of “Trojan terrorism” affirms the bitter truth that law is always behind technology and it can catch up the culprits only if vigilance and dedication is shown. That must also be supplemented with a coherent and coordinated cooperation between various nations. The concept of “technology transfer” plays a major role in this regard. Thus, instead of transferring the “computers” to least developed and developing countries the countries must concentrate on “transfer of security measures and technologies” for the common benefit of Internet. If the developed countries will avoid transfer of “security technology” then Internet can never be safe. The “digital divide” and “technological gap” will only create various “safe harbours and heavens” for the cyber criminals that can be used as a “platform” to launch various malware attacks all over the world. Thus securing the security of one’s own nation is not the real solution but adoption of common security for the Internet is the real solution. A common “Internet security protocol” is the need of the hour that should be freely and readily available to national authorities to regulate cyber crimes and cyber terrorism.
