The Internet?

Question

ARPANET was the original backbone for what we now refer to broadly as "The Internet." The backbone was constructed to allow for decentralized military operations - ie. if one city or base was bombed, another base would still have control of critical weapons and defenses. Today, the Internet has become more of a communications medium than a military network. While the Internet was designed with the intention of security and safety from military attack, the Internet presents new security threats. What risks do we take when accessing the Internet? What types of technological "attacks" can occur? Has the advent of the Internet made as safer or more vulnerable as a nation? Why?
