Is the WWW secure enough?

 

There is a lot of talk about security, how to implemented, how to manage it, and if is really working or not. Businesses and home users depend on the World Wide Web to keep in contact, made business, and keep up to date on today's market. A member of the UK Parliament said on an interview with ZDnetUK; the internet is a fast moving, high tech, universal community, which needs international law enforcement and community action to increase the safety of people on the internet.

The US Government is pretty good when it comes about security, aside from human mistakes, they implement security systems and persecuted any who dare infiltrated it, like the case of Gary McKinnon from the UK, that is being extradite to the US for hacking into some military systems. When he got ask how he did it, he said used windows administrators accounts with blank passwords and no fire wall, which give him full control or access. So you see that you don't mess with the big dog, even when they make simple security (social level) mistakes. But what about the ordinary person that get attack almost every day, what guaranties do we have to protect us? There are laws to enforce it? well since the internet is international, there is a need for a www police, that would protect individuals around the globe and persecute those that violated the laws, but even with a police and legislation in place, it need the cooperation from everybody involved in that www community, set rules of behavior, norms of conduct, standards, that would glue together the www community like in any other country or nation.

It start on a local level with your own security implementation and rules, then community level with the help of the local police and service providers, next to a national level with the countries own regulations, and then to a international organization in charge of the global security, and there are countries that have already start this process, but it's far from achieve full order or control of the world wide web.
