Espionage Evolved


Before high resolution satellites and the computerization of everything, spying was done by government agents and their informers.  As our technology improved, we needed fewer agents and we know a lot more about other countries.

It didn’t take long for computer hackers to learn how to spy on the servers we keep our digital data on.  We saw viruses and malware appear for years and we saw everybody buy software to protect our systems.  This started a race between the hackers and the software vendors and the race is still going on.  It is similar to the contest between safe crackers and safe manufacturers.
