A financial effect is considered as the most important effect that faced organizations or company. According to Niccolai (2000) hacking is cost $ 1.2 billion of the global economy.

Countries are also another possible of hacking attacks. This kind of attacks may lead in some circumstances to collapse of countries. For example, North Korea is using 600 hackers against United States, Japan and South Korea to congregate military information (Banks 1997).
