New interstate piracy forecasting website
A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins University uncovered a website that could predict the possibility of piracy attacks between countries and some of them.
The site bears the name "Cyber Attack Predictive Indicators", meaning "the prediction indicator for electronic piracy attacks", and it was created by the researcher Anton Dabura, a specialist in computer science and an expert in electronic piracy, Terry Thompson, and it provides a proactive analytical study for countries that are more likely to carry out cyber piracy attacks towards other countries.
"The site is trying to predict the next cyber piracy struggle based on the data collected on previous attacks, and it believes that these types of attacks will become a common form of conflict in the future," the technology website TechExplore quoted Dabura as saying.
The study team developed a research approach to evaluate countries based on five main elements of the reality of cyber piracy attacks that occurred over the past 15 years, including the strength and accuracy of the cyber attack, the motives for the attack itself, the extent of concerns about the repercussions of the attack, the consistency of the attack with the security policies of the attacking party, and finally The degree of technological weaknesses of the target country.
The website presents a set of models or real cases that were used to develop the indicator and formulate a cyber attack classification system.
