4. Information is Speeding/Difference between Attacks/ Introduction

a. As there are advantages and disadvantages of every invention, sphere, and revolution, speeding

of information also has two sides. When something happens or is discovered or invented in one corner of our planet, the whole world learns about it immediately. But there is a notion of information attack. It can be understood in two ways; the first interpretation is “attack to information” and the second is “attack somebody or something with the help of information”. Both of them are more dangerous showing catastrophic consequences than any type of attack with weapons or tanks.

b. Attack to information is penetrating into ones PC and monitoring, snooping, spying, stealing

information and so on. The worst site is that is easy to hack (steal) your information virtually and

even you do not know when, how and who hacked and usually you cannot mind the event or object to. But Spying is sometimes legal, because you click on “I accept” in the licence agreements written in small prints even not reading.

c. Information threat in business purposes also exists; it can be understood as attack to intellectual

property. What is an intellectual property? Simply, we can say that it is someone else’s intellectual

working results such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols (trademarks), and designs. But owners usually suffer from not being able to

prove that idea was originally created by them. File swapping with your friend is also against law.
