The biggest story you’ve never heard of in the last decade had nothing to do with September 11, 2001 or the War on Terror. It is a story that will have more ramifications to your life than Al Qaeda ever will, yet you probably have no idea what Operation Aurora, Titan Rain, or GhostNet is.They are the opening salvos to a war we never see. This isn’t just one story. It is many.
So when the chinese turn on my microphone with ghostnet do think they’ll be able to fix the feedback problem I have or do they have volume control?
I fear the hype more than I fear the cyberwar. I just reinstalled my operating system to get rid of malware. Standard stuff. Before that my web site was cracked, I wrote the filters to fix it, and then Google put a great big banner blocking access to my web site. I lost 100% of my hits. Google didn’t ask. they just destroyed all the hard work I’d put in trying to develop traffic.
