[quote:malu:MV8xMjQ3MzcwXzIwMzMyODAwX0ExQzdDNDlD] [quote:X 1154792] Thought they did that ever new year with bogus antivirus attacks that infect your computer so bad you have to wipe or BUY A NEW ONE. Stoopid thread conceptually. Computers are so cheap the damn things are veritably disposable at this point in time. [/quote] um, yeah.... what we are talking about here is no different than lighting up an EMP over a city, if you have studied asymmetrical warfare, this is first strike, and would attack everything from utilities, to banks, to command and control centers. and yes i understand the limitations to a "hardened" facility, along with the role of moles. remember that we recently lost control of our nukes for a brief period recently connect the dots [/quote]
Original Message
i just got a voicemail about this and this is all i could find:
The Pentagon's new Cyber Command is seeking authority to attack computer networks around the globe to protect American interests, drawing objections from Obama administration lawyers uncertain about the legality of offensive operations.
Cyber Command's commander, General Keith Alexander, who also heads the National Security Agency, wants his new command to be able to mount what he has called ''the full spectrum'' of operations in cyberspace.
Offensive actions could include shutting down part of an opponent's computer network or changing a line of code in an adversary's computer. They are operations that destroy, disrupt or degrade targeted computers or networks.
