Is this government cyberspace manual "spooky" or what?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) October 25th, 2010

The U.S. Air Force has just released a new cyberspace manual for all in the command. It’s called “Cyberspace Operations: Air Force Doctrine Document 3–12”. The manual states that military and personal computers are being attacked “millions of time a day, 24/7”. Hackers are looking for ways to shutdown key American electrical power grid locations, in order to gain control. It also describes how computers can be controlled, due to hardware and software made and assembled in foreign countries. These private vendors can be “persuaded“to offer new computers to the military and private sector, with altered chips. This would make these computers vulnerable and easily accesible to hackers. Question: Does the release of this military manual concern you? Is a cyberspace war on the horizon for our military? Did you expect this?
