GLOBAL PULSE: Cyber Attack or Media Hack?

(July 17, 2009) When hackers hit government websites in the U.S. and South Korea, was it a cyber salvo in a new form of warfare, or just hackers causing mischief? Some media went on a cyber field day, pointing fingers at that international bad boy, North Korea. But in this case, the hype may be more of a threat than the hackers. Hosted by Erin Coker.

I'm not a bit afraid of this things,I firewall from the ruter, firewall from the antivirus and I can easly observ if something malicious is in my pc. Things like this usualy happenes in usa, hoever most of the operating sistems are designed in theyre language, but when something rong hapens with theyre computer, they have to call a thenician or an itst to resolve the problem.

There were instances of malicious software installed in seriously reputable websites.

Has anyone else noticed that the only people really afraid of "cyber warfare" are effectively computer illiterate?

And by the way, computer geniuses that find alternate or unintended ways of doing things and going around problems are hackers. However, when this type is used for malicious purposes as breaking things, deleting valuable information, and such, it's called cracking. Most hackers that break laws or breach security are just explorers and thrillseekers that don't break anything.

at our minds come together on Link TV

[jazztrio2008]

I live in the sourthern part of Vermont, Bennington county that is. Dish said we weren't part of Vermont we were part of NY and gave us albany local, oh boy was I ticked then there service really sucked so I called up the FCC got a complete refund of my money. the only part gone right was when the guy came to set it up. switched back to direct TV and got WCAX chanel 3 out of burlington along with other Vermont stations.

[GloVermont2]

yah Jazz. I had to chuckle when reading your reply. We switched to DSIH this month because Direct TV ticked us off!

We agree on LINKTV being a value to those who at least can tell the difference between free journalism and corporate journalism. CNN FOX and most all network news is insulting to people with half a brain.
