North Korean Cyber Attacks?
I know I’m supposed to be on vacation but I had to call this to your attention.
You’ll continue to hear in the news about North Korea supposedly attacking US and South Korean websites and networks.
Isn’t it interesting that as one poster on Yahoo stated in their comments:
What bill is trying to become law in the United States? “Coincidentally”, the Cyber Security Act of 2009. This bill will give the President the power to declare a cybersecurity emergency and limit or shutdown network traffic to any network. (SEC 18, 2). The President will also have the power to order the disconnection of any network (SEC 18,6) A few more cyber security attacks and this baby will be in business!
Now think about this folks for just a second logically.
North Korea cannot even get a satellite launched into space. Do you honestly think they can launch the kind of cyber attack that our government and the news media is expecting us to believe?
Give me a few proxies and I can make you believe North Korea is doing the same thing!
Are we being manipulated – once again – to further the government’s agenda to control the Internet?
Wake up people!
CastleCops Needs our Help! Server Donation Drive Marathon
If you’ve ever performed a Google search for odd malicious processes running in the background, or just some basic security issues you had questions about, chances are good that Castle Cops website & forum will come up in the top searches and the answer you were looking for!
According to Spamhaus, CastleCops has been “making cybercriminals unhappy since 2002″ and now they are in need of our help!
Well, I was surprised today to find out that the site is suffering a bit. They need a new server and they have launched a Server Donation Drive Marathon. MICE is on the donors list as of today and I’d like to challenge our readers that have ever been helped by them – and you know they don’t charge! – to kick a few spare dollars their way and help them get back online with a new server (or two).
You can see the drive information here: http://www.castlecops.com/server_marathon.html
The PayPal line is also a link if you want to send a donation via PayPal. Keep in mind that PayPal takes 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction. But if you want to donate and not have to think about writing a check, then please do. Otherwise, the information on where to mail checks is included in the link above.
Then you can join MICE’s name on the donors list here: http://wiki.castlecops.com/CastleCops/Server_Donation_Drive
And as you can see there, the list is mighty small. Please, help them out!
