Further, Harris is clearly troubled by certain tactics taken by the NSA, such as when it has become aware of vulnerabilities in particular software or systems. On some occasions, the NSA has decided not to disclose those vulnerabilities or else it has encouraged firms not to cure them in order to permit the NSA to better identify the adversary and determine its goals. Harris also describes the tactic of injecting malware into an adversary’s computers and servers overseas, and shows that this tactic may have unforeseen

Cyber espionage is the act of attempting to penetrate an adversarial system for the purposes of extracting sensitive or protected data of either social or technical in nature. They are illicit activities that range from the commercial and economic to the political and strategic. They include small nuisance attacks to matters of high magnitude and importance like the national security and intelligence (Cornish 2012). Chinese cyber espionage has continued to escalate in recent years; it has continued to gain attention in many institutions including the media, the technology and information services industries, in scientific research and innovations, and as well as the general public. All these institutions are aware that china is taking part in the systematic development of cyber techniques that they intentionally use to invade international organizations, national governments, commercial companies, universities, and research institutes (Cornish, 2012).

This report was due to the leak of classified document by Edward Joseph Snowden, a former contractor for the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and former worker of the NSA (National Security Agency) through subcontractor Booz Allen Hamilton, a tech consulting firm. Based in the NSA's Oahu office, Edward Snowden was a system administrator as described by intelligence officials. As a system administrator, Snowden action of whistle blowing can be analyzed from different angle with different perspective. The impact of his act on the intelligence gathering itself was devastating. According to Keith Alexander, former NSA director, what Snowden has uncovered has brought about irreversible and noteworthy harm to the United States and its allies (Ackerman and Rushe, 2013).

Secondly, this paper will evaluate the lessons learned from the attacks of 9/11. Lastly, the issues of domestic intelligence vs. foreign intelligence will be examined.
The National Security Agency does whatever it takes to protect the American citizens from terrorism, even if it means spying on them. The National Security Agency, commonly known as the NSA, is a bureaucracy that’s often shrouded in mystery. From the time they were founded up until now, the National Security Agency has been an agency of the government that almost seemed to act completely separate from the government they protect. From codebreaking in World War II to domestic spying on the American people in the name of national security in the twenty-first century, they have been involved in a lot of secretive and questionable dealings. In this essay we will be learning about subjects like the laws dealing with the NSA to exactly what it takes
Espionage threats can bring many consequences, particularly for governments. Governments as well as some private organizations store large amounts of sensitive information within their computer systems. If the information is accessed by unauthorized users that are seeking to cause harm, then it could affect the ability of the government or organization to defend themselves or prevent the threat from happening (Ammori & Poellet,
Information can be attained through friends /relatives, accessed as part of a transaction, taken by a corrupt employee at any institution used, through mail, computer spyware, virus, hackers, and email, also out of the trash (Katel, Peter). The average American ignores the risks that everyday activities put it in. Ignorance is never an excuse when something of such substantial value becomes compromised, nor does it rectify the damages.
The infamous cases of Aldrich Ames and Edward Snowden have been highly publicized and extensively researched by the intelligence community, media, and academics alike. Consequently, a plethora of articles, biographies, and documentaries have been written and produced on the lives and controversial actions of both Ames and Snowden. While leading experts on these cases have thoroughly analyzed the motivations behind Ames and Snowden 's actions, and provided extensive details on their particular cases, few researchers have focused exclusively on the effects Ames and Snowden’s cases had on U.S. national security and foreign policy. Thus, the specific question that will be addressed in this thesis paper is “how have the cases of Aldrich Ames
When the average American hears the word “spy” an image of a secret agent deep in the heart of Soviet territory, or a memory of his or her favorite James Bond movie probably pops into his or her head. This glorification of spying is no doubt a product of Hollywood’s dramatic representation of what they think a spy should be. The reality of what modern day spying consists of came as a shock to most when on June 5, 2013, an NSA contractor by the name of Edward Snowden executed what many consider to be the most significant leak of government information in U.S. history. Overnight, the American people learned that their government had been executing personal data collection of massive proportions. It was the U.S. Government’s worst fear, the people
By now, one must be sure of the fact that NSA is one of the biggest funded infiltrator agency ever set up in the world. Billions and billions of dollars are being spent on this organization of United States in order to track and record all of the digital communication platforms such as internet and telephone networks that most of the humans use on this planet. Even the natives of America are not spared in this activity of surveillance, as announced by the numerous authoritative news sources such as Washington Post and the Guardian of UK.
External hacks can cause a business or government millions of dollars as well as the loss of vast amounts of personal data. What is not as prevalent in the news is how these internal hackers often use an insider’s credentials to gain access to a computer network. Equally as troubling is there are businesses that disregard the likelihood of a hacker coming from within their own organization. Cybersecurity should begin internally, however, as in the case of AT&T, “one of world 's largest communications companies” (AT&T Company Information - Key Facts, n.d.), human beings tend to be the greatest security vulnerability to the public and private industry.
