He stated that given the current cyber weapons race, a cyber war is all but a sure thing. He said "with every tick of the clock we are one second closer to an all out cyber war." He also talked about a number of cyber weapons that are both software and hardware. The attack on Syria seem like a small skirmish compared to the massive cyber events in late 2007.Spy Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258043023356219164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-72218098713158418152007-09-14T17:00:00.000-04:002007-09-14T17:00:00.000-04:00I don't feel especially aware of the details of th...I don't feel especially aware of the details of the goings on in the world of internet warfare, criminal or otherwise, but it strikes me as cynical to the point of naive (as in too much cynicism is foolish) to say that the possible explanations for reports like the Germany national government's about hacking are limited to politics or politics. It would seem to me that it's just getting out of hand -- all of it from the criminal to the national. And the EU for one is looking for some sanity. Now of course everything in government has political dimensions and utilities. But I found it clearly likely in the German case that the politics were of the reason sort as much as of the trading sort. As in perhaps sending the message, "do you have any control over what's going on?".<BR/>A message which would have some resonance in China.<BR/><BR/>my two centsJohn Douglas Pritchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586956045169096792noreply@blogger.com
