Kostadinov goes on to note that most cyberterrorism actions are generally focused on website sabotage and email blasting. In order to prove that the network breach was a terrorist attack the company would need to provide electronic evidence of these types of information warfare. Information warfare is a term often used interchangeably with cyberterrorism but provides a deeper understanding in the shift of how data has become fundamental to society. As governments, companies and people shift to the use of digital information so have the methods used to attack (Gilmer, 2001). In order to combat this aspect of terrorism, the military have adopted computer forensics as part of their defenses (Vacca & Rudolph, 2011).

As your boss has heard of infamous computer activities called ping sweeps and port scans, and if he should be informed on if they are dangerous or not, it is best to discuss with your boss on the impact they might have on the company, explain what they are, and if he should be worried or not. A ping sweep is used to determine a range of IP addresses to figure out which networks were running. Hackers will use a ping sweep since it consists of an “ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) ECHO requests sent to multiple hosts. (Rouse) Tools that can be used to do a ping sweep are such commands as hackers to find which computers are running to get into the system to either steal information or send viruses without our knowledge can use gping, fping, and nmap. Administrators are able to disable ping sweeps by blocking ICMP ECHO requests from outside sources since they are an older and slower method of scanning a network.
Here are a few cases that show what people are going through and how the criminals are doing it. Case one: Porscha Kyles worked as a clerk at the Broward courts and was using people’s driver license numbers to obtain their information and then selling the information a man who intended to use the information in a tax refund scheme.
