Should Libraries Even Consider Hacking Back if Attacked?
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Ensuring that library materials are preserved for future generations is one of the highest priorities for the profession. Unlike printed materials, born-digital materials and/or ebooks present a unique set of security risks, specifically cyberattacks or hacking. “Hacking” refers to gaining unauthorized access to computers to modify, delete, or steal critical information. Libraries need to prepare for inevitable cyberattacks that risk the preservation of online material.
