With cyber terrorism on the rise as more and more terrorists gain intricate computer knowledge and the level of advanced computer users with too much free time increases, the field of cyber crime is falling behind way to fast.  President Bush is calling for a major increase in spending up to 7.3 billion dollars. 

"The president's put a lot of emphasis on this recently," says Robert Jamison, undersecretary for national protection and programs at the Department of Homeland Security. "We're concerned that the threats are real and growing. ... We're more vulnerable as a nation."   In 31% of the infiltrations, Tom Carper says, "agencies do not know who took the information or how much information was taken."

A big focus right now isn't the middle east, but China.  Several of homeland security offices still say they are deficient in cyber protection.  The pentagon has been able to link several of the cyber attacks to China, even though reports out of Beijing deny any involvement.  The Chinese have an exhaustive amount of money and resources and much of it is dedicated to technology, unlike the US.

To test security against about 100 possible attacks, the Department of Homeland Security today is completing a week-long series of simulations called "Cyber Storm II." The event presumed a coordinated cyber attack on information technology, communication, chemical and transportation systems. Participants from five countries, nine states, 18 federal agencies and more than 40 private companies participated.
