powerful net. One by one anyone can be compromised or caught with the endless world of criminalities,
so far.

From that perspective, it seems the most concerning thing to insider risk is to get an access to community
as once implemented into some environment it can begin to develop its net of threats to everyone being
inside or anyhow connected to that unit. That is primarily sensitive in case of the terrorist cells for a reason
those groups are capable to approach the community members relying on propaganda, psychological
operations and brainwashing programs that can be shared through the cyberspace or in the other means.
The content being sent through such a matter is created to sound carelessly and benignly, but the actors
hiding behind could be the real monsters. In other words, the point is to access some community leaving
its members in belief nothing dangerous is happening and once the people get convinced there is no
reason for fear they will put their weapon down giving the keys of their heart to someone being ready to
break it into the pieces. The experience shows the common targets of those campaigns are the members
of the general population and if the terrorists want to conquer the world they could attempt to rule over
our minds using their carefully prepared psychological operations. The fact is the human mental system
is the ultimate governor of the entire body, soul and psyche, so once attacked it can get in the hands of
bad guys and in such a case the entire life path can be directed as those malicious actors wish. The body
cannot live without mind and anyone knowing that will aim the center of everything. If the source of our
strength is disabled the rest of our functioning will be conquered.

As anyone will realize the main problem here is the access. The current situation in the world will suggest
that everyone has become dependable on cyber technologies and that life habit is the greatest source of
our weakness as such an innovation can be used in order to transfer the inadequate content to end users
and literally feed them with so frightening products, so far.
