So what is the answer? Just give up completely and let our corporate overlords have their way with us? I don't trust Comcast, Time-Warner or any of them as far as I can spit a dead rat. At least with a politician in the middle there is some visibility into what's going on and the (however small) opportunity to fire the asshole. How do you think it'll go for you trying to get Comcast's board to listen to you? Likelihood that anything will ever be done about anything, ever? Thought so.

Confessions of a Cyber Warrior 213

Posted by Soulskill from the he-hacked-the-last-donut dept.
snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Roger Grimes interviews a longtime friend and cyber warrior under contract with the U.S. government, offering a fascinating glimpse of the front lines in the ever-escalating and completely clandestine cyber war. From the interview: 'They didn't seem to care that I had hacked our own government years ago or that I smoked pot. I wasn't sure I was going to take the job, but then they showed me the work environment and introduced me to a few future co-workers. I was impressed. ... We have tens of thousands of ready-to-use bugs in single applications, single operating systems. ... It's all zero-days. Literally, if you can name the software or the controller, we have ways to exploit it. There is no software that isn't easily crackable. In the last few years, every publicly known and patched bug makes almost no impact on us. They aren't scratching the surface.'"
