The URL would like to announce that its first campaign,Capture the Flag, is ongoing. It has been, thus far, a resounding success. The USCYBERCOM seal is in our hands. We stand poised to poison it. The eagle is frozen in place and waits for the fangs of the viper, just as depicted in the URL’s altered image of the USCYBERCOM emblem.
USCYBERCOM, take your heraldry back. Or prepare to be humiliated.
USCYBERBOMB v. Material Support Transformer. Something’s Going to Blow.
This image has been transmitted to select representatives of some the following organizations, as well as domestic concerns, as a political protest against both USCYBERCOM and Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, which the U.S. Supreme Court handed down June 21, 2010.
The United States, through USCYBERCOM, cannot be allowed to police a military global information machine.
“By establishing CYBERCOM, we put a single military commander in charge of monitoring and defending this virtual theater, just as other commanders bear responsibility for geographic theaters. The purpose and jurisdiction of this command is clear: to defend the military’s operational networks against attacks. Overcoming the wider cyber threat to America’s economy and society will require a whole-of-government approach, with CYBERCOM in a supporting role. As such, General Alexander will coordinate this command’s efforts the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the NSA, and other stakeholders.”
Oh, if only it were going to be that easy. Because, General Alexander, the theater’s filled with smoke. And I can definitely feel the heat. So I’m going to go ahead and call it a fire. Because these virtual fires can be hard to see and contain. Unless you have infrared sensing, like a snake.
So, which one of the “stakeholders” is supposed to put this out? Or shall we watch it rage? Either one is ok with me. I like to study pyrotechnic composition. Especially in cyberspace.
