The US-Soviet Cyber Cold War

Roberto123 writes "A security expert with the NSA says a cyber cold war is being waged that has significant parallels to the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union. Dickie George says the way to fight the cyber cold war is by building security into technology, making it transparent to the end user, continually monitoring networks and updating their security software."

    "The US-Soviet Cyber Cold War"
    Silly me, I thought the Soviet Union hadn't existed for nearly two decades. Clearly I was mistaken, it has simply moved into the cyber-realm with cyber-Stalin at it's cyber-helm.

    Want to see more Russian women? There are ways. I even hear there are websites that let you "order" one as a kind of live-at-home model/spy. YMMV.
