    I'm a little more interested in this subject than others, but some may find this an interesting read...

    Hi,

    Pretty good article, It would not surprise me if the original vendors of the equipment have their fingers in this as it would be like supplying armaments with the wrong caliber ammo, kinda good at time of delivery and funds collection, but useless and fairly harmless overall.

    Good article. I knew of Stuxnet but not of it's complexity or capabilities. It's a little scary because today's US military needs computers every bit as much as ammo.

    Super Computer Trading on Wall Street....good, bad, venerable?

    Even more so when you consider the infiltration of Wall Street with all these Chinese math students learning to write algorithms for those super-computer trading machines. :eek:

    Comment: I'm working as CISO.

    What are you dooing to keep the computers of your yacht / ship clean?

    What happens if your glass bridge is not working or is hacked?
    How can we check it for "beeing correct"?
    Have your guests or the crew access to the main navigation network?
    ...

    Don't go to the persian - stay on board!

    @ship builders: is your electronic design safe?

    only my 2 cents ... :cool:
