JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - "Boeing's New 787 May Be Vulnerable to Hacker Attack." That's the headline that appeared in various media on January 5, 2008. The article itself comes from the Federal Aviation Administration claims, or the U.S. aviation business entity. How could a plane - which is generally hijacked by terrorists - are now being attacked by hackers who attack computer normally?

The answer: "Everything is computer nowadays," said Eugene Kaspersky, CEO and founder of Kaspersky internet security company in Jakarta, Thursday (8 / 10). Everything is computer today. He pointed out, ranging from mobile phones, cars, to refrigerators and coffee machines have been equipped with similar operating system on the computer. Some are connected to the internet so it can be accessed remotely.

So when I called the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft attacked a potential hacker, it's not a story without foundation. This aircraft, the FAA report, called a computer network that allows passengers to "experts" access control system aircraft.

Initially, the computer network in the passenger seat was designed to provide Internet access throughout the journey. However, these networks are connected to the aircraft control systems and navigation and communication systems. So the entrance was created for the passengers to take control of the aircraft. Regarding the possibility that, Boeing has designed a solution to a hacker attack through the network is not possible.

According to Kaspersky, malware or malicious software that used to only grow in the PC world, has since some time ago appeared in a variety of mobile devices, such as mobile phones. "In Russia, one could even create malware to enter the bank's network, then change the value of the ruble exchange rate becomes much higher. The dollar was then exchanged into rubles and big profit," he says.

Indeed, malware, which then leads on Cybercrime, has become a business. Business lucrative and attractive to many people because it produces huge money, the easy way. Therefore not easy to fight this type of crime.

Not Again Network IT

It is said Kaspersky, interaction is possible in web 2.0, also makes the system much more open to outsiders. Users who currently own may conduct transactions in various systems, indirectly making the system accessible to others. No wonder online banking system, including one who became the target of cyber criminals.

Another thing that might happen is extortion by threatening non-IT installation. In January of 2008, the U.S. intelligence agency, the CIA, after hackers who threaten to sabotage the flow of electricity through its network that connects the Internet when not provided a ransom for him. "That may happen. Even the hackers in the Ukraine could be deadly Internet," said Kaspersky.

Story can be seen more clearly in the movie Die Hard 4 starring Bruce Willis, where a group of criminals disrupt computer systems major cities in the U.S., including the government network. The goal may vary, a ransom, stealing state money, or subvert the government. "In the future, such events could actually happen."

The first cyber crime is limited to the computer environment, is now threatening widespread non-IT environment. And this could not be separated from technological developments that made all things evolve into a computer.

In his joke, Kaspersky throw the question, "What's the difference smartphone with a computer?" The answer is, "Smartphone does not use a mouse." This means that almost no different smartphone with your computer, as well as other goods in the future. So beware the sophisticated stuff you, because from where an attack could enter.
