I just watched zero days, a great documentary about stuxnet. It is important to realize-- and this seems to be the films thesis, that secrecy is extremely damaging. It took 20-30 years for bioweapons, nuclear weapons, and chemical weapons treaties to be enacted and this process hasn't been started with cyber.
Attacking whistleblowers is damaging because it is postponing inevitable discussions that need to happen and interfering with discourse nations need to have within themselves and with other counter-parties.

Wow, I guess we watched the same documentary, but I didn't pull that message from that movie at all. Just seemed like kind of a two front warning to me: 1. Those type of cyber operations are extremely difficult to pull off effectively. Stuxnet did little to damper Iran's progress. 2. Those type of operations are extremely difficult to control. Stuxnet got into the wild, even though its original targets were airgapped networks and industrial machines.
- tr1ck5t3r 10y agoCentralisation and trust in major players is whats damaging. The UK security services Behavioural Sciences Unit http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38252470 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38252470 is not just identifying terrorists, its monitoring everyone. Your school reports, your NHS medical records, everything that is centralised is scooped up and used to profile you. If you profile as a criminal then you will be targeted. This is Minority Report Pre Cog from birth.

Who would have thought video's could have been a phishing tool to see what you are interested in from a psychological perspective? Watch this video and identify yourself to the spooks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X0Teo5AxQM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X0Teo5AxQM Don't watch this video and keep the spooks guessing. Can you watch this video from another location? Do you use a search engine to find surreptious ways to watch this video? Can you find ways to exploit the IEEE standards drawn up for computer communication? Do you have the curiosity? Watching this video will give you an insight into the game where spooks provoke you to hack your mind whilst generating economic activity. Who do you trust? Purchasing so much online leaves your products vulnerable to interception. Can you obtain what you need offline anonymously with minimal digital traces? Do you trust your anonymous source? What benign everyday instruments can you use to wear down your opponent psychologically? Can you mess with their washing machine, fit a device which washes their clothes at a higher temp randomly to shrink their clothes forcing them to spend money and deplete their funds? This is an example of whats called Resource Burn. Can you alter your opponents car engine management system to make the vehicle break down? Can you mess around with your opponents building heating controls if the users temperature setting interface communicates with the boiler using radio frequency? Can you mess with their voice controlled systems? Can you intercept and listen into their wireless telephone handsets that plug into landlines, like a fake mobile phone tower intercepts mobile phones? Do you buy some food products like ground beef or hand made sausages from a local meat supplier? Is this made on the premises instead of being pre-packaged? If so can you drug the food products whilst co-opting the supplier into drugging the ground beef under the pretence of your opponents needs to take their meds? Can you obtain copies of relevant authorities and produce fake the letters to mess with your opponent? What these examples show you above is that technology which has existed for years is liable to being hacked and can be used as a psychological tool to wear down your opponent. Likewise people can be tricked into believing anything someone in a position of authority including fake documentation can be coerced into working for you. What makes your religious beliefs any more right or wrong than the empirical evidence of scientific or mathematical study, if the science and maths is only observing and functioning in one plane of an unknown dimension could be explained by quantum physics? And all the time your online activity is tracked and monitored. What do you do? Do you like being spied on? Do you feel safe because you think you have done nothing? Or are you unknowingly helping to keep the criminals in power by engaging with their diverse mechanisms of human control? Who or what do you trust? Can you tell the difference between right and wrong? Did your education brainwash in the same way religion brainwashes. Are you addicted to technology and gadgets? What would you do to keep your lifestyle, your possessions?
