14 DAY TRIAL // The FBI released a video and an interview with Shawn Henry, the executive assistant director of the Bureau’s Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch.
Shawn, who is about to retire, detailed the evolution of cyber threats and the challenges faced each day by the FBI in the cyber security sector.
“In the past, in the physical world when somebody would rob a bank, the pool of suspects is limited to the number of people in the general vicinity of that bank,” he said.
“Today when a bank is robbed digitally, virtually, although it is very real for the victims, the money is actually gone; the pool of suspects is limited to the number of people on the face of the earth that have a laptop and an Internet connection, because anybody with an Internet connection potentially can attack any other computer that’s tied to the network.”
The first part of the interview is available here and the second part can be found here.
