Pentagon: Let’s Threaten Nuke Strike Against Hackers
Most of us are content keeping hackers away with a firewall and decent password. But the Pentagon isn’t nearly content, and in a new report, insists we should keep our nuclear arsenal ready for Internet retaliation. What could go wrong?
The report, “Resilient Military Systems and the Advanced Cyber Threat,” was prepared by the Department of Defense’s Defense Science Board, and over the course of 138 pages makes one very clear point: if China ever hacks us, “Protect the Nuclear Strike as a Deterrent.” The phrase is repeated again and again—the word “nuclear” appears 113 times in a report ostensibly dealing with computer warfare. The entire thing is riddled with jargon, euphemism, and rosy military metaphor—climbing the ladder of deterrence!—but the notion that American nukes could (and should!) be part of the “cyber war” equation (and insulated against any electronic disruption) is unequivocal.
Who came up with this brilliant idea? Ridiculous. I say ban all WMD. Period. -Mort

I used to manage a particular retail industry client in the UK. On my first day I was told to deal with a server that had been hacked by a Chinese group. Sure enough the server had chinese calling card left on it (a wallpaper with their communist information on it, even ‘how to’ videos on how to hack the server once on it..a literal walk-through). I even traced their IP address to a I.T technical college in China so I knew who had done it.
My simple solution was to just use the Firewall to block traffic from all IP addresses originating from China. This simple action nipped the problem in the bud – no threats required, no international police – just a simple tweak to a security wall.
Why does America not just block chinese traffic if it’s so serious you need Nuclear deterrents?
Just an obversation based on my own personal experience of working in the UK I.T industry.
