reds under beds & threats on the Nets

coming soon, the quest for war,
brought to you by Pentagon Research.
we've already had a war on terror- a concept.
Why not have a war because of the Internet- a bunch of 1s and 0s.

for now, watch out, the devil is in the toaster



The whole thing is just a story for suckers. Some Chinese hackers supposedly
went phishing and got 100 Google customer log-ins.

If I were technically illiterate, I'd be shocked. But, it's well known now that
all our e-mails can be hacked with the greatest of ease. There are even
training videos on youtube. It takes 15 minutes to learn.

So, is e-mail hacking a good enough reason for war? Not unless the American MIC says so, it isn't.

How to hack email accounts in 15 minutes: YouTube videos show how
Hacking into someone’s email, social networking account or online shopping account can take less than 15 minutes, an experiment has shown.

A group of volunteers with limited technical knowledge followed an online tutorial to break into a computer network and obtain each other’s login details.

The so-called ‘man in the middle’ technique they followed works by intercepting communications between two people or what someone is viewing on the internet.

As a user logs in to their online account, their username and password appears on the hacker’s desktop.

The experiment was carried out by internet security company the CPP Group and the volunteers included a baker, a retiree and a television producer.

Following a 14-minute tutorial, freely available online, they were able to hack into each other’s accounts.

More than 20,000 videos are available on YouTube showing the basic tips on how to hack social media profiles, email, smartphones and PayPal accounts.

And about a fifth of Britons are aware of the tutorials, with 87 per cent believing they should be removed from the internet, according to an ICM poll commissioned by CPP.

The company’s identity fraud expert, Michael Lynch, said: ‘As our live session has shown, these hacking skills can be applied within minutes, so it’s crucial for consumers to take steps to protect themselves.’

He called on the government to review access to online hacking lessons and tighten regulation of internet hacking communities.

A recent Sony security breach enabled a hacker to gain access to the personal data of more than 100million online gamers, including people in Britain.

My next big drunken conspiracy I thought of in the evening: We are going to have a cyber attack. Except it will be our own assholes that do it(like 9-11). This attack will shut down the internet. Then we'll pick which ever asshole country we want to go loot. The US sheep have already been fleeced to the point of bloody scabs, now the assholes need their next bag of cash at the expense of killing 1000's of foreigners somewhere.

You may be right. There was that massive cyber intrusion into a bunch of defense companies and govt. that the govt. won't say how much damage was done, but said that now they are considering cyber attack an act of war. Now this is a catch all for any attack on anybody, because as long as an attack comes from the countries servers the US can say that country did it. Something this way comes, and it won't be pretty.
