Hi. Have patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time; erelong she shall appear to vindicate thee.
I am from Indonesia and learning to speak English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “You can start your search here whenever you need a low cost airline ticket discount airline tickets — fare quotes for groups and travel agents.“
Best regards :-(, Saul.

As an Army Officer working for the Defense Information Systems Agency, it is certainly inviting to delve into the tactical level technical aspects of this discussion. However, I believe there is some merit in taking a look at the strategic issues involved here. Drake says below,

First off, The email we are talking about is the external facing email system for the white house. IE President@whitehouse.gov Not the internal email system at all which I am sure is encrypted. Having said that, this is the kind of problems that I have been talking about. We are constantly distracted by news of SPAM, Phishing and DDOS attacks when the real problem is sophisticated well funded/organized groups spending time to find real vulnerabilities in important systems. Mostly this will be used to collect information (cyber espionage). These attacks will also mostly be state sponsored, but not always.
To the questions of cyber espionage or cyber war. This is cyber espionage, just like physical espionage it needs to be watched out for but it’s really not much different. You could have cyber attacks that are warfare (attacking power stations, shutting down financial systems, etc) but it would have to be something other than just collecting data, collecting data is espionage.

I was under the impression that if we elected Obama, that the world would love and respect us again. Why would the Chinese do this to us?
One things for certain, the Obama administration will never spy on the Chinese or even prepare for a cyber-counterattack. That would be against the law and a violation of the Chinese military’s civil rights.

If the powers that be were smart, they would set up some type of “dummy” Whitehouse email/database that hackers could hack into, and voila, you could have some sort of direction on where the attacks are coming from w/out compromising real intelligence.

There is no such thing as true security on any internet. Security has to be changed and resecured almost daily for there to be any semblence of security. If a man/woman can figure out a new system, there are at least a thousand others that can figure a way to break it in SHORT ORDER. I call anyone who transmitS significantly important info on the net on a system more than a week old, A FOOL.
