Iranian Hacker Story Gaining Momentum – Drone Threats, CBRN Data Leak

The Iranian Hacker story is gaining national momentum.  Today I was on the American Adversaries Drive Time show as a guest to talk about the story.  I followed Congressman Ron DeSantis on the WORL radio program, based out of Orlando, FL.

For our new readers – Welcome to the franchise – the “ESPN of Tech” – SiliconANGLE!

I also mentioned the “Dark Web” – the fun 99% of the internet regular people don’t even know about and where hackers buy/sell/trade company, personal, and national data – Here’s the article – http://siliconangle.com/blog/2013/02/18/one-world-labs-takes-on-data-leaks-in-the-dark-web/

This story is just beginning and we are hardly out of the woods here, there are more threats every day.  The fact that intelligence about the country was leaked so easily should worry many and it may in fact embolden those that may be looking to do the same.  The state of CyberSecurity is not good and more needs to be done to defend corporate, personal, and national information.

STUFF LIKE THIS IN UNAUTHORIZED HANDS SHOULD WORRY YOU.
