It's a serious issue and it caused me to cancel Christmas, and thus I am sticking with it:
"‘Interview’ attack may signal new cyberwar" by Hiawatha Bray, Globe Staff December 22, 2014
In a tweet, former US House speaker Newt Gingrich said, “America has lost its first cyberwar.”
It’s a war that US corporations are woefully unprepared to fight.
Thus they will need to purcha$e new $ecurity $oftware, cui bono?
***********
Richard Kelsey, an assistant dean at George Mason University School of Law, called the Sony hack “an act of war,” requiring an aggressive response from the United States, probably in the form of severe economic sanctions.
“This is a new battlefield, and the North Koreans have just fired the first flare,” Kelsey said.
Obama says it is not.
But Andy Sellars, a First Amendment fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, doubts we’ll see a similar incident anytime soon.
“To me, it feels much more like a one-off,” Sellars said. “To me, I think it’s an exceptional case under exceptional circumstances.”
The propaganda psyop will soon be coming to an end and will be dumped down the memory hole like Target and home Depot, to be used to trigger mental imagery and manipulation by the masters of media when the time comes for your mind to molded with propaganda again.
The United States might already have gone to cyberwar in 2010 by allegedly using Stuxnet, an attack program that damages computer-controlled industrial machinery. The government of Iran said Stuxnet infected hundreds of centrifuges that were being used to enrich uranium for use in nuclear reactors. Cybersecurity analysts believe Stuxnet was developed jointly by the United States and Israel to cripple the Iranian nuclear program, but neither government has acknowledged any involvement.
Yeah, I mentioned that and once again it's breezed past, and as you can see GOVERNMENTS LIE!!!!
Another case involved the conflict between Russia and Georgia. Before Russia invaded the former Soviet republic in 2008, banks and government agencies in Georgia were knocked offline by cyberattacks that were linked to Russian mobsters, according to news accounts at the time. The government of Georgia accused Russia of engaging in cyberwarfare, which Russia denied.
Why not target them?
But if true, it would have been the first military invasion in history to feature an attack on the targeted country’s Internet services and perhaps was a harbinger of future armed conflicts.
I love it when a lying, distorting, and obfuscating, war-promoting, agenda-pushing propaganda machine uses the words if true together. US has already been doing it for decades. Did it in Iraq and Syria, these hacker attacks to disable governments targeted for overthrow.
Can you see why I think blogging what crap the Bo$ton Globe decides to shovel forth on a daily basis is no longer worth it (like a movie ticket).
Internet-connected companies remain highly vulnerable to attack, whether from criminals or angry despots. Indeed, experts say that any corporate network that plugs into the Internet is bound to be compromised.
Believe it or not, my blog search at the top of the page is ALL F***ED UP so I can't use it. Someone doesn't like me saying what I'm saying.
UPDATE: Within minutes of posting this the problem had been fixed.
“There are only two kinds of organizations in the world,” said Stuart Madnick, professor of information technologies at the MIT Sloan School of Management in Cambridge. “Those that have been hacked and those who don’t know they have been hacked.”
A-ha.
Security companies said the Sony hack has alarmed corporate customers....
And it looks like they will need to purcha$e some $oftware from them now, huh?
--more--"
So when is the NSA false flag hacking job scheduled for the U.S. banking system?
After this dud of a Xmas?
NEXT DAY UPDATES:
North Korea’s Internet fails; attack suspected
If the attack was American in origin, it would be a rare attack on another nation’s Internet connections.
So says the propaganda pre$$.
Certainly the United States is positioned to cause failures in many places in the Internet: Among the most interesting documents released by Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, was a map of “implants” that the United States has put in strategic places around the world.
We just found out who mis REALLY behind all the hacking!
UN Security Council takes up N. Korea’s human rights
As if they had any legitimate authority.
