RE:US CYBER ATTACKagreed..it has been publically announced - this is now a full blown CYBER WAR - CNN interview just after 12 pm is calling this the "PEARL HARBOUR" of cyber attacks. interesting that it came indirectly thru a software update via some small software firm out of texas - the intrusion was made back in march and they were talking 18000+ govt agenices/govt apps that may have been infected. The extent of damage still isnt known (nor will we ever know ) but they were talking planting malware timebombs right up to outright theft of highly classified information. Also interesting that the donald has yet to comment while joe has and most importantly, there is an up to date cyber defence bill sitting with the current prez tthats collecting dust that needs to be signed...REALLY?? (i suspect its not being signed because it probably has some pork barrel add ons having nothing to with CYBER that continues to stall any business between the dems and repulicans but i could be wrong -havent had time to investigate ). Anyways this bill provides the capabilities/ monies/tools for BOTH defensive and more importantly offensive actions for exactly the premise that the US finds its self in...wondering how BB will play a role ...thoughts?? dwdc
PS picked up a trading position on this news and the usual post results sell-off...
