Whether the hackers were government-sponsored or not is beside the point. A cyber-attack conducted parallel with full spectrum operations has a strategic IO effect. <BR/><BR/>As per the Chinese, while I appreciate their effort I am dubious as to the effectives of a hacker at lower level tactical echelons. Decisive hacking (breaking encryption) requires access; access to computers with computational firepower not available with a laptop. <BR/><BR/>I think that's why you will never see similar position in the US tactical military organizations.Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12504621012291975089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848788753934512462.post-82432990388714855382008-08-20T06:36:00.000-07:002008-08-20T06:36:00.000-07:00Great post as always Ken.<BR/><BR/>BTW, thanks for linking to my blog.Isaachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18215924467425676052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848788753934512462.post-87070134519091426572008-08-20T05:47:00.000-07:002008-08-20T05:47:00.000-07:00BW - Your favorite IO dude here...good blog. Just a comment on OPFOR doctrine...we(U.S.), in the past hardly ever thought about warfare in the cyber domain. However, with the advent of flattened communications and the world's (to include formations in the DIME, especially the M for what I'm addressing here) dependency on it, we must continue to explore the other domains outside of the physical, information, and cognitive. Jumping to another sub-topic...did you know that Chinese tactical units have IT specialists to conduct cyberattacks simultaneously with physical maneuver attack? It's true! They see physical attacks in the cyber domain equal to that of dropping a JDAM. Makes you wonder how well we are transforming our efforts to gain overmatch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
