Sec Clinton To Call Out China On Google Attacks

9:12 am EST January 21st, 2010 | Uncategorized | 4 Comments

I feel like the mainstream media doesn’t get how important this story is.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will call on Chinese authorities to explain reported cyber attacks originating from that country, and will refer specifically to the December incident that convinced the company to reconsider doing business in the country. 

 ’Countries or individuals that engage in cyber attacks should face consequences and international condemnation,’ Clinton plans to say, according to prepared remarks provided by an official.  ‘In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation’s networks can be an attack on all.  By reinforcing that message, we can create norms of behavior among states and encourage respect for the global networked commons.’

    “I strenuously object?” Is that how it works? Hm? “Objection.” “Overruled.” “Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object.” “Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider.”

    Just words … Just speeches…

    Like Bush with the bullhorn after 9/11, SaveFerris?

    Or is this like Bush’s promise to get bin Laden, “Dead or Alive.”?

    I think it was 60 minutes who did a detailed report about this last year. Cyber attacks have shut down power grids in major cities across the world. The CIA agent they interviewed wouldn’t disclose who was behind them although he did say it wasn’t “Anonymous”, but perhaps the Google case will give us insight to what China is up to. It is actually a major vulnerability in our system.

    Perhaps Die Hard 3 was right?
