On the first week of April 2013,
USA Today reported about the hacking of Israeli government websites,
which coincidentally followed after the group Anonymous warned of a massive
cyberattack. Among the institutions allegedly attacked were the Defense and
Education Ministry, the Bureau of Statistics, and a few banks.

Even the Associated Press was
not spared from cyberattacks. On the last few days of the same month, hackers
got into the Twitter account of the newsgathering organization and posted a
prank message about Obama being injured and the White House being under attack.
With the Boston bombing just days before it, the post was taken seriously by
followers.
It took minutes before
Associated Press was able to reclaim control of the account and correct the
misinformation. The consequence of the incident to the stock market is more
distressing though. Almost $200 billion equity value were lost that day, as
stocks were sold sharply and fast after the fake news came out.
Of course, with cyberattacks
becoming almost a daily occurrence, you can expect the good guys to step up
against shadowy criminals. In New York University, for instance, a group of
twenty-something teenagers meet up every week and train to become white-hat
hackers.
Their main goal is help
government agencies and businesses protect their websites from attacks on the
Web. Much like spies operating from behind the keyboard, these college students
hone their hacking abilities while turning up electronic funk music and eating
pizza.
Of course, what they do is
actually not real-life hacking; it is illegal, regardless of one’s purpose.
Instead, they collaborate with their professors and industry experts in
creating exercises that expose them to simulated hacking scenarios. Among the
most common instruments used by hackers is the Internet Explorer browser.
One classic case is the June
2011 hack that tried to access numerous Google e-mail accounts, an attack that
was eventually traced back to China. The group’s mentors recreated the exploit
and had the students map out how the criminal was able to infiltrate private
networks through access to a desktop computer.
While such schools as Carnegie
Mellon, Purdue, and Georgia Tech are quite popular for their excellent
cybersecurity programs, the NYU-Poly in Brooklyn seems to be gaining votes as
the best training ground when it comes to hands-on experience and mission-critical
work. Much of this may be credited to Hack Night, an annual hacking competition
every fall and is the largest contest of its kind in the country.
