The CIA is complaining that news media and other entities are giving away information about it's agents and operations. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2011/07/did-cia-do-enough-protect-bin- ladens-hunter/39867/ Trouble is, the information being analysed has been provided by the CIA. If the CIA is being too eager to promote themsleves, or careless in censoring the material they do provide, is that the fault of the media? In doing the CISSP seminars, I use lots of security war stories. Some of them are from my own work. Some of them I've collected from the attendees over the years. It's not hard to use the story to make a point, but leave absolutely no clues as to the company involved, let alone individuals.
Hot off the presses: "3,000 Intelligence officials' names, emails leaked as 'INSA spies'", http://blogs.computerworld.com/18963/3_000_intelligence_officials_names_emails_leaked_as_insa_spies. Its funny how these folks don't like to eat their own dog food. Live by the sword, die by the sword - they made their bed, let them lie in it. _______________________________________________ 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.
