Typically, hackers distance themselves from their
actual targets by taking an
innocent network hostage.
In doing so, hackers make themselves harder to trace, and amazingly, can even
shift liability of damages to the innocent company in
the middle. |
In fact, many companies don't even know that their networks were used in an
attack until days, even weeks, after an attack was perpetrated. |
And, depending on the hacker's target, federal agencies can get
involved and actually
confiscate computer
equipment when investigating cases against sensitive government operations. |
