This book opens up with incident of the Chinese hackers who stole the plans for the F-35. I remem er reading about this in another book and they sais when askex why all that info was just sitting on those unprotected computers in the first place. And why the hell wasn't it at least encrypted. The answer was it's just not practicable to encrypt all that. When it waz stolen the info was encryptex on the fly as it left the building. I guess everyone has a different version of practicable.
Xxi The Pentagon now sees cyber warfare as the "fifth domain" along with "land, sea, air and space." The generals see a "cyber pearl harbor" in our future. The ability to disrupt uor normal way of life would be myriad in that kind of scenario. God help us!
Cyber warfare is going on right now while we speak. Stuxnet aside, (which of cojrse was our own foray into the craft) Cyber warriors are out there right now figuring out bigger and better ways of attacking. This is very disturbing news indeed. Cyber wars will dominate in the immediate future I predict.

I find it difficult to take notes on topics like these for fear of pissing people off. But dude wrote a whole book on the subject with all this pseudo-classified information put out there for all the world.to see and he isn't worried.
I knew that.blackout in 2003 was a hack job.
