Hackers or worse yet crackers are becoming a global threat.Iran managed to bring down a U.S drone by hacking it. What direction should Kenya take to fight this epidemic considering the people in charge have no clue about such issues?

If the story about Iran is true, then most countries could be in for a serious problem. The only way to beat the hackers is to develop systems which are hard to crack.

Its true.It happened last december.The drone parked nicely into one of iran's airbases without a scratch.Not most countries, the world.Wikileaks proved that.I read an article that the U.S. has acknowledged it doesn't have enough cyber security professionals.You can't develop a system that's hard to crack if you're not a hacker.That's the problem and if you hire hackers they will be good for a while but they will become ignorant of the new trends.Its a strange problem.

Forget about privacy, and love your neighbor as you love yourself.

There are numerous hacking groups and nations with teams of hackers working together to crack systems, software and networks. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time for any system to be hacked/cracked.

@tycho - How would you love someone who is trying to enslave you?

I have been grappling with this question today. Notice, the question is not whether we should love the oppressor, but how, we are to put our love into action.

Let it not be lost to us that love is a force that not only creates, but also a force that heals.

Oppression is a spiritual and political ailment that begins when the individual seeks to protect and defend his/her ego. And for this defense to be complete he must seek to dominate.

One thing that people feel justified to defend is their freedom, and that is how they lose it.

But freedom can only be enjoyed when one gets rid of the urge to defend it, and instead embrace the oppressor with the force of love.

This is the art of spiritual warfare: spiritual healing.

Apropos, do you think Egypt's president, Morsi, will truly protect the revolution by having all the powers in the kingdom? Definitely not! We are about to see an upsurge in protests and dissatisfaction.

Countries gained independence by defending their freedoms and surely not by loving their oppressors. You still haven't answered my question, how would you love someone who is trying to enslave you?Use the illuminati for example

Like which country, America? See Hannah Arendt's 'on revolution'. The Americans had no revolution.

After losing the 'old empire' the British resorted to the common wealth to protect her interests.

'Know yourself; know your enemy!'

How would you love one who is not your enemy?

Remember, 'the greatest general is he who conquers without violence'.

Nothing is unpredictable. All you need is a group of guys equal to the task. Equip them with the necessary resources and voila. The worst thing is to assume that no one will hack into your system. But you can mitigate against such.
