Title: 'Military-run cyber attacks real future threat'

Description:
In future military conflicts there will be cyber military attacks, making the introduction of IT military units and standards a necessity, predicts security software mogul Eugene Kaspersky. Kids, teenagers and cyber vandals who used to be naughty on the web, staging hack attacks and writing viruses just for fun and to prove themselves, are now turning into cyber-criminals, driven by "unfortunately quite a big" profit, says the king of anti-virus software. Kaspersky revealed to RT that there is another type of hacker behind cyber-attacks, the so-called "hacktivists". They are not motivated by money or profit per se. "Most of them do it like in protest," Kaspersky said. "We are closely watching the cyber-crime world though, keeping those guys at a proper distance," he assures.Hackers fueled by ideology are potentially more dangerous than those that are after money, because as they grow more experienced they set new aims for themselves and that is where they can join cyber-terrorism, designing and managing cyber-terrorism attacks. "We depend on IT, we depend on computers, networks -- everything around is just a computer," the security guru claims, "and unfortunately not every network is designed in a secure way." "We live in a very dangerous world which is even more dangerous than it was in the past" Eugene Kaspersky noted that the problem is international and it could be dealt with on governmental level only -- which is already being done with increasing intensity, he acknowledged. At the same time governments conduct cyber-warfare against each other, like the notorious StuxNet virus that was used to infest computers belonging to Iran's nuclear problem. Eugene Kaspersky said that he personally examined this virus's code and can officially state that the virus is "a big project' and it took a "group of hi-end experts to design it." Kaspersky also stressed that "he is not sure" the job could be done without governmental support, adding that the StuxNet attack is the first incident and he is waiting for those that will follow. Kaspersky predicted that there will be cyber military attacks in future military conflicts. He said it is not the job of his company to protect countries, but indeed they do advise governments what must be done to protect industries and communication systems, and governmental resources. "I think the right way is to introduce military IT security standards," he claims.RT on Twitter: http://twitter.com/RT_comRT on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/RTnews

Jul 17, 2011 - Why does the government bother trying to sell us this bullsh*t? You know tthat nobody is fooled by the "huge" threat of cyberterrorism. You know they're going to convince nobody of it yet spend billions on it anyway. So, why bother with the propaganda? Probably cause the gov criminals like banging these corporate tool journalists and the corp tool journalists like feeling important. So I guess it all comes down to making shallow women feel sexy.

Jul 17, 2011 - The only difference between a 'security expert' and a 'hacker', is the former being a paid mercenary for the current rulers and their laws wishing to maintain their status quo.Can you really blame 'malicious coders' resorting to virtual banditry, looking at it all like the wild west, when we live in an era of ruthless international competition and outsourcing? In an era where peoples dreams have become like that of the Oceans Eleven movie, rather than caring about their own communities?
Baseliner Says:
Jul 17, 2011 - Too bad there is no 'anti-virus' to protect the hard working people who do productive things in the world from all of the predatory losers of the world, like wall street Gordon Gekko wannabees, lawyers, predatory financiers and lenders, intrusive marketers (I just love those midnight phone calls and ugly billboards).'Good' my ass.

Jul 18, 2011 - Leave it to the kids to fuck over the goddamn arrogant bankers and their political whores. I know these kids get mixed up with ID theft gangs now and then, but most would rather fuck over the evil bastards in the governments than make money. I sure wish there was a way to see that they had the very best equipment in the world. It would be nice for every fucking word Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy uttered to be sent around the world.
