..the United States has never conducted a large-scale cyber-attack.

I guess the US has conducted small-scale attacks.

Any idea who the United States attacked?

But the Pentagon has been developing cyber-weapons.

Heck, just make the enemy country a beta user of any Microsoft product. That should suffice...

I don't fund anything wrong with the concept. What bothers me is the statements about it being a secret order and that and administration official leaked it. IMHO, all these leakers need to be summarily shot...

I wonder if this allows for privateering.
Could I, for example, hack an Iraqi account and transfer a couple of million dollars of theirs into my account without being prosecuted by our government?

I sincerely hope their electronic skills are better than those that have been shown so far at the FBI and the CIA (which is said to have a woefully out-of-date in house system). Otherwise, who knows what they'll succeed in bringing down?

I wouldn't mind too much if they fried the AOL servers.

How about we move the war to IRAQ?
