This journal analyzes the different methods of reporting any software or hardware attack to the national cybersecurity authority known as the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). It focusses on German nuclear facilities security structure, and obligations implemented by The German Information Technology Act. Heinz-Peter Berg provided information on how a single malicious attack not reported, can potentially harm any major facility. This source is credible because Heinz-Peter Berg had work multiples investigations for The Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (Lietuvos mokslų akademija) or LAS. This academy is the advisor for the government of Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic and is very respected in following international organizations: ALLEA (Federation of All European Academies), ICSU (International council for science), EASAC (European Academies Science Advisory Council), and IAP (Inter Academy Panel). This source is convenient for my study because it gives me the opportunity on how cyberattacks are reported to major security organizations. Provided a real national problem on security that can change the world.

This journal article covers how a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), has initiated to be one of the largest menace on crucial organization around the world. Also it provides statistics on how long it takes to: North America, Europa and Asia pacific detect the cyberattack. The writing explains how a DDoS can enable other malware to target unsecure systems. Anthony Chadd deliver new information how cybercriminals combine to different cyberattack to bypass companies’ security protocols. This article emphasizes the evolution in defensive strategies to protect and defend the network around the globe against DDoS. This source is credible because Anthony Chadd is the senior director of EMEA at Neustar, a global information services provider. Neustar is a leading global provider of mission-critical communication, connection, information and analysis services and infrastructure to the Internet. Neustar is the neutral third party trusted to securely manage the information needed to connect everyone, across networks. This article is beneficial for my study because it provides the new method of cyberattack and how nations continue to work on the time to react to fight back this malware before all networks get compromise.

The academic journal investigates how the Convention on Cybercrime (COC), the first international treaty addresses cybercrimes, by harmonizing national laws. Also, improving the techniques to control attacks and increasing the cooperation among nations. Provides evidence on the success of countries that enforced the COC and how this help to decrease the number of cybercrimes on all different network. This source is credible because multiple professionals from respected Schools like: School of Business and Management, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; School of Business, Yonsei University and School of Information Systems, Singapore Management University; contribute to the development of this article and demonstrated how new laws can help the countries prevent a major financial loss. This article is useful for my study because it provides the effect on the COC on countries with actual statistics from current cybercrimes. Also, proves that not all nations practice the best security protocols in cyberspace.

This report covers the economy impact cause by the cybercriminals worldwide. Also, provide information on how governments exploit the cyberworld to prevent attacks from enemy forces. Investigate the possibility of nations combining resources to end the new war on Cyberspace. Focus on methods involving advance technology to determine if the attack is to harm the infrastructure of other nations. This report is credible because the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), in partnership with McAfee, develop this global report that focuses on the significant impact that cybercrime has on economies worldwide. Both of this organization conducts policy studies and strategic analyses of political, economic and security issues throughout the world, with a specific focus on issues concerning international relations, technology and others. This source is useful for my study because it provides me how much it cost worldwide to fight back against cybercriminal. And gives the number of attacks, and type of malware use per year on big corporations.
