“…In the United States (US), according to Allen [7], in December 2013, Target (a departmental store based in Minneapolis) reported that information from more than 110 million credit and debit card payments by its customers were accessed illegally. The hackers stole personal identification numbers (PINs) from the cards, and as a result, Target lost more than $3.5 billion [8]. Hutchings [9] cited that Neiman Marcus (a Dallas based retail store) also reported that the information from 1.1 million credit and debit card payments was hacked in 2013.…”

The Internet and related technologies have enabled companies to automate almost all of their operations resulting in enhanced efficiencies and cost-effectiveness. The technologies, however, have also introduced numerous security risks. Through security risks such as Electronic Hacking (EH), individuals and companies have lost a lot of valuable data and money. In this regard, there is a need to understand the extent of the threat of EH. A comprehensive thematic review and analysis of EH with a focus on developments, evolution, challenges, prognosis, and prevalence in select institutions was thus conducted. The research involved reviewing the literature on cybersecurity and its effect on organizations' operations. The result shows that cases of security breaches and associated costs continue to increase. Over five years, the healthcare and medical institutions were the most vulnerable. They were closely followed by corporations. The implications are that as institutions become more automated, their respective degrees of cybercrime vulnerability increase. The consequences of security breaches are normally dire for companies, as well as individuals. Millions, or possibly billions, of dollars worth of data, have been lost as a result of security breaches. This trend is expected to continue in the future, as computers and Internet technologies continue to advance. Through cybercrimes, numerous companies' operations have been sabotaged, and personal information from social media and email stolen. Long term, effective and sustainable strategies are therefore required. The paper is significant because it identifies the information security risks various organizations are exposed to and strategies that organizations can use to mitigate the risks.

“…Selain itu, pembentukan pasukan cyber beserta teknologi-teknologi pertahanan cyber juga menjadi sangat vital mengingat potensi serangan cyber semakin meningkat. Kelompokkelompok terror juga kerap kali memanfaatkan teknologi komunikasi dan informasi seperti internet dalam melakukan aktifitasnya (Andreas & Naím, 2012;Blaker, 2015;Heickerö, 2014;Jarvis et al, 2014;Sultan, 2018;Ward, 2018).…”

The Singapore government since 2000 has stated their goals to have a strong and capable Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). The urgency of having a strong and capable SAF cannot be separated from the multidimensional threats that Singapore has to deal with. China's growing military capability coupled with increased aggressiveness in the South China Sea and relations with two conflicting neighbors are examples of traditional threats facing Singapore. Non-traditional threats, especially terrorism, also haunt Singapore. This article argues that the Revolution in Military Affairs implemented by Singapore is the mitigation of such strategic disadvantage. Through the implementation of the Revolution in Military Affairs which was marked by the acquisition of advanced weaponry technology and followed by changes in military doctrine and organizational adaptation, the SAF has already been transformed into a powerful military in the region.

“…In a study of academic opinion around cyberterrorism, Jarvis, Macdonald, and Nouri identified "considerable disagreement" regarding the "extent to which this phenomenon poses a security threat." 39 Simplifying, they characterize this disagreement as a debate between "the concerned" and "the sceptics"for whom cyberterrorism remains little more than a hyperbolic media construction. Heickerö dichotomizes this debate similarly between those who view the cyberterrorist threat as "real and considerable," and others for whom there is 'no threat at all or only a very limited one."…”

This chapter focuses on understandings and debates around cyberterrorism as well as the effect particular representations of this phenomenon have upon assessing its threat. The chapter begins by introducing various understandings of cyberterrorism and differentiates between narrow and broad conceptions as well as effects and intent based definitions. Moving on to consider the threat of cyberterrorism the chapter identifies an ongoing debate between “concerned” and “sceptical” voices as well as those that contest whether cyberterrorism has ever taken place. The chapter then introduces a range of broadly constructivist studies which question the orthodox approach to cyberterrorism as an ontological reality and highlight the importance of media representations of this threat. To illustrate this, the chapter concludes by highlighting findings from a recent study of global news media coverage. It shows that this media is frequently apprehensive in tone, despite the existence of diverse understandings of cyberterrorism and cybersecurity.
