InfraGard is a grass-roots effort to respond to the need for cooperation and collaboration
n countering the threat of cybercrime and terrorism to private businesses and the
government.
~y the end of September, there will be InfraGard chapters in all 50 states, Callowa
y said.
With advice from the FBI, each local chapter will be run by a board of director
s that includes members of private industry, the academic community and public agen
cies. Banks,utilities, and other businesses and government agencies will use a secu
re Web site to share
nformation about attempts to hack into their computer networks. Members can join
the system
!t no charge.
A key feature of the system is a two-
pronged method of reporting attacks. A "sanitized"description of a hacking attempt
or other incident - one that doesn't reveal the name or
ensitive information about the victim-
can be shared with the other members to spot trends.
?hen a more detailed description also can be sent to the FBI's computer crimes unit
to ietermine if there are grounds for an investigation.
Cybercrime has jumped in recent years across the nation, particularly in hotbed
s of financial cormmerce and technology like Charlotte. "Ten years ago, all you nee
ded to protect yourself was a safe, a fence and security officers," said Chris Swec
ker, who is in charge of the FBI's Charlotte office. "Now any business with a modem
is subject to attack."
FBE agents investigating computer hacking that disrupted popular Web sites incl
uding Amazon.com, CNN and Yahoo! this year identified several North Carolina victim
s. The investigation has also identified computer systems in North Carolina used
by hackers to commit such attacks.
Prosecutions of hackers have been hampered by the reluctance of businesses to
report security intrusions for fear of bad publicity and lost business. Meanwhile,
too many corporations have made it too easy for criminals by sacrificing security
for speed and accessibility. Jack Wiles, who will lead the local InfraGard chapter'
s board, said a recent report estimated 97 percent of all cybercrime goes undetecte
d. Wiles, a computer security expert, has a firewall on his personal computer to
prevent hackers from getting into his files.
"I get at least one report a day that somebody was trying to get into my comput
er," he said. "The Net is a wonderful place, but it's also a dangerous one."
