Location-Based Information Data Centers: Major Victim of the Hackers

Abstract:


The data center contains the most valuable spatial information and for some datacenters, such as the National Institute of Geography IGN of France), or the Ordance Survey (OS of England), or the National Imagery Mapping Agency (NIMA) of the U.S., its price is estimated to be between $4 Up to $ 12 billion. Therefore, with the importance of the information available at these data centers, undoubtedly these sites will be one of the most important targets of the hackers.
According to the announcement of the NSA, computer networks and data centers are hacked about twenty thousand times every year. It's worth noting that the NIMA site alone was attacked thirty three times in 2007, with four times the hackers succeeding to steal some of the location information they wanted.
In today's society, the Internet, computer, data center, data storage and computer networks play a vital role in all affairs and aspects of human life, especially in defense, military, political, social, economic, cultural and .... In addition to the positive and extensive features and dominance of virtual space over the objective space in most areas, there are also serious threats that target the pillars and bases of organizations in many fields. Experts working in this area believe that the more our society is going to use computers, the more the threat level increases. Meanwhile, datacenters and data storages, whose information is of high value both materially and mentally, is being stolen through computer brigands and hackers.
