Posted by samzenpus on from the how-about-a-nice-game-of-chess? dept.

Bismillah writes about NATO's annual Locked Shields cyber defense exercises. "The Western European and North American mutual defence pact organisation NATO has concluded an annual cyber defence exercise, defending a fictitious network against incoming attacks. Called Locked Shields 2013, the exercise involved 250 people in eleven locations around Europe, under the auspices of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD-COE), the Finnish and Estonian Defence Forces and two government IT security organisations in the Baltic country."

  1. Your tax dollars at waste by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    when the fuck did computer hacking become the purview of the fucking mother goddamned military - and not even national militaries, but this fucking cold war goddamn dinosaur that was entirely based around the concept of the free world vs Josef Issaryanovich Dughashvili aka Stalin The Guy Who Killed 20 Million People That We Should Probably Stop Worrying About Because He's Been Dead Since Nineteen Fifty Fucking Three.

    Fuck Nato, fuck the military industrial complex, fuck these government douchebags, fuck them wasting our money.

    "oh but we must protect the nation from cyber attacks". listen douche the fucking internet doesnt care about nations anymore. corporations are certainly not single-nation based and thats where most of the cyber attacks occur.

    oh but what if they find some vulnerability in a military system? We already know about vulnerabilities in military systems - whistleblowers point them out all the time and then the get sued for 'espionage' by the fucking government because ass rape contractor one doesnt want their precious 500 million dollar project to go down the shitter and their 'reputation in the security community' to get unduly tarnished to the extent they can no longer be payed $500,000 grand a year to sit on the board of some circle jerk fucking pseudo-think-tank and butt rape our nation into fucking poverty with their alarmist whorish bullshit PR campaigns. Example Number Fucking One - the Chertoff group - thats right kids. The guys who fucked up 9/11, Katrina, etc, can now be payed millions of dollars to slap their dicks across our collective faces over and over and jizz the press with bullshit and pay off their friends in the government to non-regulate them, classify everything they do as top secret, and otherwise put their penis-tentacles into your pockets, open your wallet, and destroy the future of your children.
