Comments on: Homeland Security wraps up first mock cyberattack

Weeklong "Cyber Storm" exercise was designed to test government and industry's readiness to handle a massive incident.

DHS are a laughing stock

This goes to show why America has no credibility outside of the American bubble of propaganda and smoke screens. I may as well post this one up to my mailing list with a personal comment. For the comedy value of mocking the DHS I stress.

Is this the same government?

Is this the same government thats planning a cyber attack to get tighter control of the big corporations like Google. A cyberattack to show the big corporations how important it is for the U.S government to have access to Google's user information and search data (For so-called intelligence against future terrorist and cyber attacks). Yeah, sounds like the same government to me. Oh, well... heres a link to continue my rant on... http://groups.google.com/group/n3td3v/browse_thread/thread/7c7b88e4bc178324/9aaacadef702a51c#9aaacadef702a51c

The less competent they are, the more free we are.

It's a drag when the government has been stolen by election
thieves. I was worried for a while that Homeland Security would
actually succeed in getting those agencies to work together.
Mostly they waste vast sums trying to make us more afraid. That's
what happens when you declare war on an emotion, on terror. It
never has to end. It never will, until we take our country back. I
don't think Americans are brave enough for that. We let them steal
two presidential elections and did nothing. Now we just complain
online.

They are preparing the industry

To respond to a cyber attack the U.S government are planning to commit in order to win over public opinion and Google on that how important it is for U.S government to have unrestricted unconditional access to thir data centers of user email, searches and other stats Google and others gather. While the U.S government already have ways of getting this information, we're starting to see the governments being more open about the information that strive to obtain. Lets not be in any doubt that government hackers already have Google's search data and read any Gmail account they want to monitor. The difference here is the push by the U.S government to make it public and official about the information they want to have access too.

CNET AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH

You delete my comments and yet I knew it was going to happen, so every message was forwarded to my mailing list before hand, just to make sure the information is available for people to read.

Have a nice day.

And then...

The "They are preparing the industry" post reappears. Either it was pulled or CNET were having parsing problems there with their interface. Not worry, its back where it belongs, but for how long?

Wasnt 911 on same day as ...

...a military exercise? Hmmm...
And, no America is pacified as long as people on opposing sides of goverment action issues talk, blog or chat about them...we will "discuss the issues" until we wake up and realize one day we have a national curfew and electricity is rationed out on a scheduled basis-imho.

Real Cyberterror Are Electronic Voting Machines

The real cyberterror, the threat to our democracy, is hacked voting machines with no audit trail. California is in a fix now because the Feds mandated a deadline for installing new machines but CA has a bunch of Diebold machines that cannot pass vertification. Oh, and what's happening lately with Diebold. Didn't their president resign over all sorts of improprieties?
How convenient that secure, auditable machines
won't be in place for the 2006 elections. "Make every vote count, again and again."


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/06/AR2005120601518.html
"An October report from the Government Accountability Office predicted that steps to improve the reliability of electronic voting "are unlikely to have a significant effect" in the 2006 off-year elections, partly because certification procedures remain a work in progress."

Electronic voting...

RICE will stand and get in to the white house and the dreadful killings of the "war on terror" will continue.

You can bet Bush's government hackers won't let Clinton's wife win the election.

Emperor Nero made a mistake and we are doing the same thing.

I understand practice makes perfect however logic should say do not practice in the middle of a fire. Put the fire out first...

While the rest of the world implements solutions doing 4 part authentication using multiple interactive solutions leading to a single use credit or debit use number, we play games knowing the US patented the solution years ago.

Nero had nothing on us. At least he got the joy of inspiration but remember he was hunted down like a rabid dog by his own gaurds and died begging for his life.

Let's hope we don't go as far to get change. My Mummy and Grams in UK will get protection before me only because I live in the US where we play cops and robbers on the very machines that are robbing us blind. No wonder they cannot get qualified talent since Nero is insane.

That's what I think. Ciao now.
