The vulnerability is a touchy subject with me. Last year a new vulnerability was reported every 57 minutes. You have to wonder if all those were accidental or programmed in on purpose. I modeled one vulnerability and found out that from the time it was reported to a patch being available till the company I was dealing with had applied the pact enterprise wide took 102 days. That means for 102 days the vulnerability was available for exploitation. We have been programmed by the software industry to accept faulty software. If you purchased a car and it had a problem every 57 minutes, you would not buy from that company again — would you?

Yes, our hackers are better. So what? Offensive cyberwarfare capabilities are lightyears ahead of defensive technologies, and many parts of the critical infrastructure use only the most rudimentary defensive techniques, if they use any at all.
If Hezbollah hackers target a vulnerable portion of our critical infrastructure, it doesn’t help that we have better hackers. There really has to be a concerted effort to develop effective cyberdefenses or large scale cyberterrorism is inevitable.

Yeah, I agree with Jeff. I don’t think it’s that great a threat. Lebanon isn’t a closed state, so anyone with any skills is likely to wish to travel out of the country and get more money, better living standards, etc.
There also isn’t the population resource the west has. Hackers aren’t just ordinary people, the same way engineers and inventors aren’t either. They have minds that need to be able to think laterally, a skill that someone is born with and thus is a percentage population problem, not schooling etc.
Sure you might get a few people staying, who may eventually deal out a bit of damage, but it’s more likely they are about to shoot themselves in the foot with this one. Hacking into things leaves the hacker more exposed. The moment a location of a hacker is found, I wouldn’t be surprised they either monitor them, or decide to pass on the info to the Israelis to do a raid on the place.
The reason why China has been hacked may also lie in this issue. The Chinese method of teaching and indoctrination ensures that any innovation is suppressed at a very young age. Hezbollah isn’t exactly known for giving people the freedom of thought either!
I know of an inventor who went over to China to teach at a school for a brief period and found that the kids were bright, but they were just unable to think for themselves. Hence why the Chinese still have never managed to build a successful jet engine.

Don’t forget that other threat: LAAF. Liberation Army Against Freedom.

Nobody ever talks about the US cyber offensives. I’m not worried at all, our hackers are probably 1.5 million times better. I don’t imagine there’s anything stopping the US govt. from acquiring the Windows source code. Hezbollah beware, you’re using stuff invented by “the west” to do your cyber war. Even linux… the source code for linux is all written in English. All of their network equipment is either from the US or southeast Asia. We pay our hackers very well over here.
