'apocalypse'; Cost of doing biz

PSA:

White House official:
Cyber attacks are risk of doing Business.

( DOING BUSINESS DURING THE apocalypse MAYBE )

MY COMMENTS IN CAPS FOR EASE OF UNDERSTANDING, G

BY JOSH SMITH, NATIONAL JOURNAL 04/27/2011

The White House official tasked with coordinating the country's response to cyber threats said Wednesday that the risk of such attacks is often overblown.

Howard Schmidt, the White House cybersecurity coordinator, told National Journal that a few sensational events make the overall cyber threat seem worse than it really is.

Like CORNFLIKER, STUXNET?

"It's still a situation where specific incidents make it something it's not," he said. "Things make headlines that are just the risk of doing business in many cases."

HE CLEARLY DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE, DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE STUXNET

ATTACK. WHAT IS HE DOING AT THIS JOB? HE WITNESSED A NEW WMD, AND DIDN'T NOTICE.

On Tuesday, Sony announced that hackers stole reams of personal information on 77 million Playstation Network accounts. Last month the Epsilon marketing company lost information on 250 million people to a cyber attack.

But, Schmidt said, compared to other, more traditional crimes, attacks in cyberspace remain rare. He said there had been some successes, although he gave no details.

OUT OUT, CRIME IN CYBERSPACE ISN'T RARE, ITS ENDEMIC. 

ID THEFT WHAT EVERY 8 SECONDS, UNREPORTED CRIME, CRIME ON THE INTERNET

ISN'T RARE, ITS PERSISTENT AND RISING.

Cyber attacks growing in number and sophistication
Few victims realise they are under attack until it is too late. It is increasingly common to hear of attackers remaining inside a compromised organisation for months, gathering information with which they design and build even more sophisticated attacks," TippingPoint said.

That being said, Schmidt added, the relatively low risk doesn't mean the problem should be ignored.

"RELATIVELY LOW RISK"???

AT THIS TIME IN INTERNET HISTORY, SECURITY HAS NEVER BEEN WORSE AND HIGHER

RISK. STUXNET IN A MULTIPLE WAR HEAD APPROACH, CAN TAKE OUT AN ENTIRE

INFRA-STRUCTURE, OF AN ENTIRE COUNTRY, ELECT, COMMUNICATIONS, CELL PH, CABLE,

TV. RADIO, WATER, GAS, BANKS.

AND MANY ARE TRYING TO REVERSE ENGINEER.

IT LIKE THE NUKES, SOON SOME ONE ELSE IS GOING TO HAVE ONE.

Despite concerns by some analysts that the White House cybersecurity office lacks the authority or resources needed to do the job, Schmidt said he has been given everything he needs and is meeting provisions in the Cyberspace Policy Review, among other goals.

I THINK HE BELIEVES WHAT HE SAID.

THERE ARE MORE KINDS OF AND NUMBER OF ATTACKS, EXPLOITS NOW

THEN AT ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY.

THERE IS NO SECURITY ON THE www.

While "the government has to do what it can to secure our own systems," Schmidt said, the broader effort to secure networks and information must be managed by both the government and industry.

"It's all government, all private sector," he said. "It's what we refer to as a shared responsibility."

Paradigm Intel has alternate reasoning:

Howard Schmidt is THE authority, "the White House cybersecurity coordinator", HAS seen it all,

and US is generations ahead in Cyber of everyone else.

I'M BETTING AGAINST HIM,

WE ARE FACING WMD THREAT ON THE WWW.

THE THREAT IS REAL, AND WE HAVE SEE PROOFS

OF CONCEPT ON THE WEB ALREADY.

THERE ISN'T EVEN A SECURE OPERATING SYSTEM

IN THE WORLD YET. 

HELL THERE ISN'T EVEN A SECURE BROWSER YET.

IRANS JUNK WASN'T EVEN HOOKED

UP TO THE WWW, AND THEY GOT   H I T.

Cyber attacks are risk of doing Business.

AND ENDING IN A apocalypse.
