You know, "we" all my be the first to see and understand that such a attack is in progress...attacks against critical targets can come from anywhere with distributed computing. Even IF we detected it happening, the question is, who would you tell, and more importantly, "do you trust YOUR government" with that information? With whats gone on to neutralize the Constitution since 9.11, its hard to say just who IS the enemy. I know the whole process of turning the US into a police-state is un-nerving to say the least. But I digress.... That whole article thats in the LA times is a rehash of the article that was on C4I.org back when the US spy plane was held in China. Interesting to see some reporter dug it up and made it frontpage again. Why? At 18:25 4/25/02 -0700, you wrote: How many PC's and components are 'Made in China'? In the dark ages, I worked for Williams Electronics. We made Arcade Games *blush*. Once we found our custom chip was reverse engineered in Taiwan, and they were shipping knockoffs six weeks after we started shipping the real product. If true, these are not script kiddie type threats. I hate to say it, but 911 is an example that the unthinkable isn't.
