Consequences of Snowdonia

This is off topic but I know from sources that my posts here reach certain targets.


Fact: The Russian Army is mobilizing on the borders of Ukraine

Fact: Cyber attack activities by Russian government sponsored and unaffiliated supporters are going to ramp up as part of that effort.

Fact: The Internet security community can't trust the NSA to coordinate the response because you betrayed us.

Fact: There is an acknowledged risk that cyber-attacks whether from government sponsored organizations or independent groups could be the spark that turns an international crisis into a war.


I don't think we need to debate the facts further. We are now in a very bad, very dangerous situation and the fault for the loss of trust lies with the US military.

This is not a problem caused by one incident or disclosure. The cyber-attack doctrine itself is at fault. The industrialized world is the worlds biggest glass house and we spend $55 billion a year inventing new ways to throw stones.


If there is an invasion it is very likely that the Russians will attempt a repeat of their tactic from the South Ossetia campaign and using BGP rerouting and Web site hijacking to issue bogus instructions purporting to be from the Ukraine government telling citizens, police etc. to make no resistance.
