In my last entry http://www.hostreview.com/icontent/the-blog/anti-virus-approach-not-enou... I wrote about how we need to inoculate ourselves, our data, and our identities against the poisons of the online world. It makes no sense to use 20th century technology to protect our networks against 21st century threats.
Here's how 21st-century protection works:
US Senate Bill S.773
President Obama has, on multiple occasions, promised to take the government’s initiatives against cybercrime to the next level. With US Senate Bill S.773, the Obama administration has shown, at the very least, that it’s willing to put its money where its mouth is and push cybersecurity to the next level.
Do we really want to build this smart grid…for it only to be used against us? We've got to be sure those smart meters are protected.
I spoke these words two weeks before Siobhan Gorman of the Wall Street Journal broke the news that cyberspies, most likely from China and Russia, had penetrated the cybergrid that controls the US electrical supply, and and had left behind potentially disruptive software. I wasn't a bit surprised.
Innocent three-year-olds are being drugged and enslaved. Under the influence, they respond hypnotically to the commands of their captors, more like zombies than the bright young creatures they should be.
Even countries famous for protecting the rights of children, like the Netherlands and Norway, conceal these slaves. They hide their dirty deeds behind closed doors in the very best neighborhoods. UNICEF still fails to halt their suffering.
You are what you do. You are shaped via your experiences. And that’s no different in the online world. Your digital identity is what you click, what you surf to, what you buy, how long you stay on a site and with whom you connect!
