Online Crime Seen as Growing Threat to Business, Politics

Posted by Zonk on from the can't-we-all-just-play-some-wow dept.

BobB passed us a link to a NetworkWorld article, exploring the ongoing realization in business circles of the dangers online criminals pose. The piece raises the possibility that criminal elements are gaining access to US research labs in an effort to ferret out corporate and governmental information. One institute referred to in the article states: "Economic espionage will be increasingly common as nation-states use cyber theft of data to gain economic advantage in multinational deals. The attack of choice involves targeted spear phishing with attachments, using well-researched social engineering methods to make the victim believe that an attachment comes from a trusted source." We just recently discussed possible hacker involvement in several municipal blackouts.

    The paradox with this situation is the fact that niggers are too dumb to use computers.

    I also can't wrap my mind around Nigerian scam emails. I think that's really a Russian mob op. It must be.

    What will crime be like then?

    Will niggers rap about robbing MMO gold instead of gold chains? Doing drive-by wireless stealing instead of drive-by shootings?

    12% of the US population... 80% of the jail population. It only stands to reason that an article which would normally feature only 12% nigger-content in the comments should have that ratcheted up to 80% when the topic is crime.

    Can we stop using the term "nigger". I thought the politically-correct term was jigaboo.
