Are we at a peaceful crossroad or will Cyber War continue, unabated?
Dear Readers,
Today, we launch this special edition of our e-Magazine on a very historic day, June 12, 2018,
when World Leader US President Donald J. Trump and Kim Jong-un, the Supreme Leader of
North Korea Leader of the Workers' Party of Korea will meet in Singapore and begin the long-
awaited peace process. Normally, we focus our entire magazine on best practices in cyber
defense. With the potential of ‘tearing down this wall’, the wall being that of more open
borders between South and North Korea as well as North Korea’s gaining more open access to
free trade and a more normalized voice on the world stage, by promising to de-nuclearize, how
will that impact cyberspace? Will this mark the quiet beginning of more normalized relations
regarding the ongoing Cyber war?
Think of the NHS WannaCry outbreak – that absolutely and obviously was an act of Cyber war,
not Cyber-crime. Children and adults who needed operations waited 3 or more extra days due
to the downtime. This was the weaponization of malware into an intranet DDoS attack guised
as ransom-ware or a ‘ransom-worm.’ Do you believe, as we do @CyberDefenseMag that now is
the best time to begin the dialog on forming a #GENEVA #CONVENTION on #CYBER #WAR? If
so, let’s spread this message to the World powers who have turned the ‘citizens’ of the globe
internet – a great place for networking, communicating, of knowledge sharing and commerce
into a warfare playground for cyber espionage, cyber terrorism and cyber warfare. Let’s get
them to focus their resources on defeating cyber crime instead of weaponizing the internet.
Thank you so much for your continued support! We’re so thankful and honored to have you!
