I feel like cyberterrorism is more of an impact of trying to destroy a company and its personal data rather than a physical attack. Cyber crime is happening all around the world. Hackers are using your personal data to sell it for profit or to even use your credit card info. Some hackers target big companies including Chase Bank for example. They and other companies around the world have been victim from hacking. Some hackers keep it to as simple as hacking a twitter. This isn’t as harmful but they could go out to spread lies and propaganda if they wanted to through big celebrity names. Keeping your passwords and data safe is important. Cybersecurity is a huge industry for post college grads right now too.

Chase,
I agree with everything you said. Cyberterrorism is a huge threat right now, and cybersecurity is definitely a great industry for college graduates. Fortunately, I think many companies are beginning to take more preventative measures against cyber attacks after seeing some of the devastating affects they may have. As much as technology is beneficial, the more we integrate it into our everyday lives, the more prone we are to cyber attacks. Personally, I know that I do not do enough to keep my personal passwords and data important!
