Pentagon to Drastically Expand Cyber Force
As Adam B. Lowther, a Research Professor at the Air Force Research Institute and co-author with Panayotis A Yannakogeorgos of "Conflict and Cooperation in Cyberspace: The Challenge to National Security," to be published by Auerbach in August 2013, said, "With governments and societies believing that cyber attack is something less than an act of war, it should come as no surprise that President Obama is preparing for what may be the opening salvo in America's next confrontation. In fact, it may be the United States that attacks first. Given the cyber vulnerabilities of American society, preemption may be the only option."

Chinese firms draw fire in House Intelligence report; Cisco cuts ties to China's ZTE after Iran probe
Well, of course the Chinese firms would call the charges "baseless."
Seems like the House Intelligence Committee did something right. Reuters reports that the committee is recommending that Huawai and ZTE be barred from buying US companies because of fears that they could be used for cyber-espionage. Of course, depending on who wins the Presidential election next month, the committee's recommendation has a good chance of being ignored. I'm suprised we allow them to sell kit into the US, or at least the defense establishment. As I said before, cyber-espionage is still esponiage. Is it any easier done over networks than by coopting employees of target companies or government agencies? I'd be more concerned about cyberwarfare. And didn't India ban Chinese telecom firms from selling into the country because of security concerns? Frankly, I'd be as worried about French and Israeli providers.
10/9/12 -- According to Reuters, Cisco cuts ties to China's ZTE after Iran probe. Shall I rest my case now?
