Ah, that's absolutely true, and I should clarify: My understanding of FBI cybersecurity is that until very recently, they were primarily responsible for domestic cybercrime. Responding to "Cyberterrorism", to my knowledge, is

Thank you! I've been asking this question for 3 days and haven't been able to get any response. As you said, there's a bit of a conflict of interest here, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who isn't biased.

Of course they do. And look, I really try not to shout conspiracy at everything. But the FBI is relatively new to the Cybersecurity game. CNN yesterday was showing "MPAA cyberterrorism experts". The links to DPRK seem tenuous at b

What evidence? Do you mean the FBI press release?
485.
by sroerick 12y ago
Sure. Everyone is guessing. But is there anyone who is qualified to make guesses who is not in the "doubt squad" One name. Seriously just one name.

Does anyone here know of a single infosec professional who thinks DPRK committed the attacks?

Gosh, this really underscores the horrific irony of the MPAA claiming that their free speech is being stifled.

by sroerick 12y ago
Out of curiousity, does anyone know any serious or credible infosec figures who believe the attacks were perpetrated by North Korea? All I've heard confirming this is from MPAA "cyberterrorism experts." And George Clooney, wh

Why was North Korea included in Bush's famous Axis of Evil speech?

Thanks for Pioneer One. I really like Vodo a lot. Nice point on commercial success driving a form of self censorship. I'm big on independant media, but I have a huge respect for those who run established brands and are able to turn a p

I'm an artist who does not earn a living via art, but grew up pirating music and movies. I grew up having access to the entire canon of film, books, comics, culture. That was a huge part of my formative experience. I want my kids to ha

It's ironic, perhaps if Google hadn't removed the warning about "Secret Agents", Mr Schmidt would not have made this gaffe. Then again, the cynic in me would argue that Mr Schmidt knows perfectly well the limitations of

If I make you Public Domain or Creative Commons content, will you buy it from me?

Surveilled reading is more dangerous than censorship, full stop. It's frustrating people don't realize this.

Mozilla is making some major moves these days. They've ditched Google as their main revenue source, partnering with Tor and Yahoo. Yahoo is angling to be a digital magazine, which I like as a business model much more than Google's

No, the issue is exploitation. It seems a little to easy to reduce the situation to a "Once Foxconn employees stop killing themselves at X rate we can consume Apple products guilt free." type of equation, doesn't it?

Was the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi a selfish and cowardly act? Is it cowardly and selfish to continue using these products? Do you have any kind of exit strategy or utopian vision where everyone, even Foxconn workers can afford a f

The suicide rate in federal prisons is lower than that of the general population as well. Does that mean that the quality of life is higher in federal prisons? Or is it simply that Foxconn employees feel so trapped by their conditions they

Cheers. Thanks for your bravery. I've likened it to that scene in V for Vendetta. They can only take what you give them.

What about the use case of using Tor in order to expand the network for those that really need to use Tor? I will take your advice to heed if I'm ever in a truly sensitive situation, but I use Tor out of solidarity. Do you think that&#

Interesting. I'll have to take a look at that. I've heard of much of this kind of behavior before. Doesn't this generally involve some form of entrapment, rather than mere browsing behavior? Important to consider, regardless.

Don't be a coward. Read whatever you want to. For all the hullabaloo about censored books, surveilled reading is just as much of a threat to the formation of free ideas as censorship, if not more so.
