John Arquilla: Go on the Cyberoffensive
,----[ Quote ]
| The Pentagon already employs legions of elite hackers
| trained in cyberwarfare. But they mostly play defense, and
| that's what Naval Postgraduate School professor John
| Arquilla wants to change. He'd like the US military's
| coders to team up with network specialists abroad to form
| a global geek squad. Together, they could launch
| preemptive online strikes to head off real-world battles.

Can you trust that Hallmark e-card?
,----[ Quote ]
| In particular, it seems like a day doesn't go by that I
| get a Hallmark e-card in my e-mail, and every last one of
| them has been spam message bearing malware or an attempt
| to get me to link to a malicious Website. I'm not the only
| one.
