So our economy is going to hell in a hand basket. I think we are missing the big picture. You tell me, what is the bigger threat, the dept ceiling or a cyber attack on our financial systems when we hit the debt ceiling. I know, I am talking about an act of war, but think about it. If we were unable to pay our debt. Our financial systems were in turmoil and our credit ratting was shot to hell, would that not be the perfect time for a cyber attack on our financial systems and or our national resources and military? We know the capabilities are out there. We saw it with Stuxnet. We saw it with Sony and we know Lulzsec and Anonymous have the brain power to launch such an attack. What about China or Russia?

It looks like we have a new wave of Lulzsec and Anonymous activity hitting the scene. This raises the question again about what concerns the CISO. With these super hacker organizations launching massive attacks against big name organizations do we need to focus our efforts on this type of threat or should we continue our efforts on the econmoic threat that has been driving us for so long.
