Electric Grid Infiltrated by Cyber Spies

(ChattahBox)—The Obama administration’s recent review of US cyber security programs found a disturbing breach in our nation’s electric grid systems. US intelligence agencies found evidence that cyber intrusions by other governments, perhaps China or Russia, left behind evidence of software tools that could destroy the electrical infrastructure, causing nationwide havoc. Intelligence officials fear the cyber espionage could also affect water and sewer facilities, nuclear power plants and even, disrupt financial markets. Scary stuff indeed!

Privacy commissioner puts spotlight on internet monitoring technology

Is it a violation of privacy that should be banned or a tool necessary to keep the internet running?

Canada's privacy commissioner has opened an online discussion on deep packet inspection, a technology that allows internet service providers and other organizations to intercept and examine packets of information as they are being sent over the internet.

"We realized about a year ago that technologies involving network management were increasingly affecting how personal information of Canadians was being handled," said Colin McKay, director of research, education and outreach for the commissioner's office.

The office decided to research those technologies, especially after receiving several complaints, and realized it was an opportunity to inform Canadians about the privacy implications.
