Cyberwar: The 3rd World War?

[feather]

The US will treat cyber incursions as act of war and could retaliate physically.

China has formed the Blue Army: "an unfettered Internet as a threat to its Communist Party-run state."

Google traces phishing attacks to Jinan, China, stops short of blaming China.

Bubble?

Re: Cyberwar: The 3rd World War?

Not really a bubble...more like bullshit...

They are hyping up the importance of cyber security...all these hacks and shit...i believe its all orchestrated by arms manufacturers such as BAE who have invested heavily into net security...its all bullshit basically. Their stock is going to go up...and people will think that net security is something that they should heavily invest in...there is still a pretty big knowledge gap between policy makers and those who would be implementing these security measures...that gap is probably anything from 500 mio to a couple of billion.
Its always the same fucking story...just a massive witch hunt to get people scared...and reaching for their wallets.

Dear Internets,
It has come to our unfortunate attention that NATO and our good friend Barrack Osama-Llama 24th-century Obama have recently upped the stakes with regard to hacking. They now treat hacking as an act of war. So, we just hacked an FBI affiliated website (Infragard, specifically the Atlanta chapter) and leaked its user base. We also took complete control over the site and defaced it, check it out if it's still up: http://infragardatlanta.org/While not very many logins (around 180), we'd like to take the time to point out that all of them are affiliated with the FBI in some way. Most of them reuse their passwords in other places, which is heavily frowned upon in the FBI/Infragard handbook and generally everywhere else too.One of them, Karim Hijazi, used his Infragard password for his personal gmail, and the gmail of the company he owns. "Unveillance", a whitehat company that specializes in data breaches and botnets, was compromised because of Karim's incompetence. We stole all of his personal emails and his company emails. We also briefly took over, among other things, their servers and their botnet control panel.After doing so, we contacted Karim and told him what we did. After a few discussions, he offered to pay us to eliminate his competitors through illegal hacking means in return for our silence. Karim, a member of an FBI-related website, was willing to give us money and inside info in order to destroy his opponents in the whitehat world. We even discussed plans for him to give us insider botnet information.Naturally we were just stringing him along to further expose the corruption of whitehats. Please find enclosed Karim's full contact details and a log of him talking to us through IRC. Also, enjoy 924 of his internal company emails - we have his personal gmail too, unreleased.We call upon journalists and other writers to delve through the emails carefully, as we have uncovered an operation orchestrated by Unveillance and others to control and assess Libyan cyberspace through malicious means: the U.S. government is funding the CSFI to attack Libya's cyber infrastructure. You will find the emails of all 23 people involved in the emails.Unveillance was also involved in a scheme where they paid an Indian registrar $2000 to receive 100 domains a month that may be deemed as botnet C&Cs. Shameful ploys by supposed "whitehats".We accept your threats, NATO. Game on, losers.Now we are all sons of bitches,Lulz Security---How to open the lulzy emails:- Sail over here: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird/- Get this thing that changes filetypes: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Download.php- Grab your booty (the email files) and change their extension to ".eml" using the above tool- copy/drag into your Thunderbird sailing vesselHappy plundering!

judge for yourself...
