Is it just a coincidence that all these cyberspying stories are coming right when the administration i the US is preparing for a cybersecurity bill ? I mean no doubt these things might happen but why are they all surfacing now and mainly by WSJ :) -Ahmad On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 8:30 AM, quispiam lepidus < quispiam.lepidus () gmail com> wrote:

Similar incidents have also breached the Air Force's air-traffic-control system in recent months, these people say. In the case of the fighter-jet program, the intruders were able to copy and siphon off several terabytes of data related to design and electronics systems, officials say, potentially making it easier to defend against the craft. <snip> If they had slow network links, one would hope the intruders wouldn't have had the time to "siphon off several terabytes of data"... _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
