Critical American infrastructure like the electric grid will remain vulnerable to catastrophic cyber attacks from Russia and China for at least 10 years, according to a Pentagon study.
A report by a Defense Science Board task force concludes that the decade-long cyber vulnerabilities must be mitigated while the Pentagon quickly creates new cyber deterrence capabilities, including offensive cyber weapons designed to inflict damage on adversaries and their leaders.
The 44-page report, "Task Force on Cyber Deterrence" was made public Feb. 28. It is based on a two-year study by a panel of military and defense experts.
The report presents a dire picture of weaknesses in both military and civilian information and control systems that are being exploited by advanced cyber warfare states such as China and Russia, along with second-tier cyber threats from states such as North Korea and Iran.

This country needs to be destroyed.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should get used to using the old stuff that we considered perfectly OK until new tech took over.Spend a little time each week away from the computer.Play board games.Listen to local radio stations and do anything that does not require a satellite for a signal.Pull out the old electric typewriter & re learn how use it,which will take all of 2 minutes since the computer keyboard is almost identical.So many things that we've drifted away from will eventually become the norm again.
