    code attacks present one of the most difficult challenges, in that the increased frequency is placing incredible pressure upon ways in which to stay ahead with solutions. All forms  of Internet commerce can become victim to mobile code attacks, which threatens both privacy and security aspects. Princeton University professor Ed Felten, co-author of Java Security: Hostile Applets, Holes  and Antidotes, notes how leaked or lost data represents a serious attack, which could easily "involve industrial or military espionage, or could compromise personal privacy, corporate security, and trade secrets"  (Keyser, 1998, p. PG). According to GTS consultant Robert Deets, representative of a network security services company, these unwelcome security breaches have been a regular occurrence within industry and  government - but are routinely kept quiet. "As with almost all security challenges, experts say, the answer lies in a comprehensive approach that incorporates the three-pronged attack of policy,  tools, and administration" (Keyser, 1998, p. PG). System security has become increasingly more important within the past several years, inasmuch as new and  innovative methods have been developed in order to breach well-tested protective measures. That hackers can readily infiltrate any given companys entire computer system with the intent to destroy data  is more than enough reason to augment security measures. "The extent of imposing security measures to protect networks has to be within practical limits and it has to commensurate  with the risks involved. After all, security is a trade-off between controls and convenience" (Thomas, 1998, p. PG). II. REGULATORY CHALLENGES OF THE INTERNET The perpetually forward moving  progression of globalization has warranted an extended type of supervision with regard to economic issues. In order to maintain reasonable control during this time of overwhelming technological advancement, there
