InfoSec News: MoD battles copycat hackers: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/12/navy_hack_copycat/
By Chris Williams The Register 12th November 2010
The Ministry of Defence is battling a wave of copycat attacks after a hacker took down the Royal Navy's public website this week.
Simon Kershaw, head of defence security and assurance services, said IT staff have been monitoring many more attempts to penetrate military sites than usual since the hack, which emerged on Monday.
The site remains offline today, replaced by a screenshot and a message saying it is undergoing essential maintenance.
Kershaw, speaking at a cyber security conference in London yesterday, said he had spent much of the week persuading Royal Navy chiefs not to bring the site back online until vulnerabilities are patched and security checks completed.

InfoSec News: California Missile: Chinese Cyberwar or DOD 'Accident'?: http://deathby1000papercuts.com/2010/11/california-missile-chinese-cyberwar-or-dod-accident/
[It was only a matter of time before the tinfoil hat / peanut-gallery community would add Cyberwar to their paranoid rants, while we now know the mystery 'missile' was really a US Air flight, I still love this explanation of what that was... http://youtu.be/8n2smBKFclU - WK]

California missile launch, work of Chinese hackers?
When KCBS aired the news helicopter footage of a mystery missile launch last Monday off the coast of southern California the ‘expert’ most quoted by the press, GlobalSecurities.org Director John Pike. It was Pike’s ‘optical illusion’ which got the most press. Another quote from Pike which got far less press, this statement from Pike during the 36 hour time period the DOD took to come up with the ‘most likely an aircraft’ explanation:
Pike said he didn’t understand why the military had not recognized the contrail of an aircraft. “The Air Force must … understand how contrails are formed,” he said. “Why they can’t get some major out to belabor the obvious, I don’t know.”
The military’s response, 36 hours after the event, an ‘illusion’?
Based on the news reports we’ve read related to the Pentagon and Chinese hackers, the questions of,
If Chinese hackers were responsible for the missile launch, would it have been construed by the DOD as an act of ‘cyberwar’ by China? A cyberwar act which occurred while the President of the United States was overseas in the Far East?
If Chinese hackers were responsible for a U.S. submarine ‘accidentally’ firing a missile, would the DOD admit it to the press, the American public, and, the Chinese government? Our military admitting Chinese military hackers had successfully hacked into the U.S. Dept. of Defense computer and fired one of our missiles?
