Over the years there has been a constant increase in the number of cybercrimes committed. Technology is an ever-changing, ever-evolving, ever-progressing entity. Of course this can make it difficult to stay on top of things. In turn, law enforcement agencies come across various issues regarding cybercrime and cyberterrorism. Cybercrime and terrorism are such complex crimes that it can be difficult to break down the barriers that can lead to justifying the action. The main issues that are important in cybercrime and terrorism are that the laws vary greatly from country to country. There is also a serious shortage of knowledge and equipment, as well as training, in many departments. In addition to these major issues, there are also issues with reporting these types of crimes and an individual's lack of knowledge to keep their identity and data safe. The first and most important issue facing those responding to cybercrime and terrorism threats is location. Cyber crimes differ from physical crimes because, unlike physical crimes, you can commit a cyber crime on the other side of the world or even while traveling. A terrorist group could be in Pakistan launching cyberattacks against US government servers, but porting through multiple proxy servers in other countries such as China.

Additionally, companies are extremely reluctant to report when their network or information has been compromised, even though this could be critical to apprehending perpetrators. This is because companies do not want shareholders and customers to feel insecure towards them, but by doing so they harm themselves and our country. In summary, there are many issues currently influencing the response to cybercrime and cyberterrorism. We must collectively address this problem more seriously and begin to thoroughly train our security departments, as well as establish diplomatic boundaries and international laws on cyberterrorism threats to help keep terrorist groups at bay. Knowledge is power, and the more educated the American people are about cyber threats, the safer our great country will be.
