NYT covers China cyberthreat

Wed Feb 20 07:04:48 UTC 2013

An Internet kill switch is a nightmare. We can't even figure out how to run a relay radio system for national emergencies.. Now we are going to assume the people who were owned can somehow shut off communications?

We as Americans have plenty of things we have done halfass.. I hope an Internet kill switch doesn't end up being one of them. Build your own private networks, you can't get rooted if someone can't knock. Simple as that.

We have done our part to China as well along with other countries in state sponsored "hacking". This is more of news amusement rather than news worthy. Question here should be how much of this is another effort to get a "kill switch" type bill back.
