Thursday, October 20, 2011 Now THIS...would have been a Major, Major Incident!Billion-Ton Comet May Have Missed Earth by a Few Hundred Kilometers
in 1883. Friday, October 7, 2011 Son of Stuxnet?As reported exclusively in WIRED today, Computer Virus Hits U.S. Drone Fleet. Details are sketchy at this time but according to sources no one quite yet knows if it is malicious or merely just a nuisance. One thing is for sure; it does seem both pervasive and quite sticky. Seems the worm has turned (pardon the pun) on those who might leverage cyber-warfare against adversaries. Stuxnet was the first public demonstration of targeted, asymmetrical warfare in the digital age. Could this be Stuxnet 2.0, or just a harbinger of things to come? Update 10/20/11: You can call it Stuxnet 2.0 or you can call it a harbinger but the experts are calling it Duqu and they are quite taken with it. Not only does it share much of the technological wizardry of Stuxnet but from a risk/threat perspective it seems to be every bit as potentially damaging, if not more so. Seems that the proverbial Genie has left the bottle once again. More to follow...
