Hyderabad, Dec. 16: Cyber security expert Mr Ankit Fadia has asked all the governments across the world to take necessary and immediate steps to tackle cyber terrorism. He said cyber terrorism is posing serious threats across the world. Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Mr Fadia said cyber terrorism will be the biggest threat to the world in the near future.
“Terrorism is the most common word in the world today. But we are ignorant about cyber terrorism. We are conveniently ignoring the fact that a single computer intrusion can cause losses worth million of dollars, Mr Fadia said. He added that there has been a ten-fold increase in cyber crimes in the last five years. Criminals are hacking into wi-fi systems of individuals to send terror mails ahead of the Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Delhi blasts.
Mr Fadia suggested that there should be an international body to act against the cyber terrorism.
“All nations must come together to institute an expert body to counter cyber crimes. But China has a different ideological position on cyber terrorism. China and India as largest internet-using nations and both the countries should be part of any international body to counter cyber terrorism,” Mr Fadia said. He has been offering short-term diploma and one-year diploma in ethical computer hacking. The 23-year-old expressed joy over his nomination as “MTV Youth Icon 2008 Award” winner
