Foreign Policy

Hackers breach ICANN.

Response to Sony hack is absurd.
"Peter W. Singer, one of the nations foremost experts on cybersecurity, says Sony's reaction has been abysmal. "Here, we need to distinguish between threat and capability—the ability to steal gossipy emails from a not-so-great protected computer network is not the same thing as being able to carry out physical, 9/11-style attacks in 18,000 locations simultaneously. I can't believe I'm saying this. I can't believe I have to say this.""
No kidding. I think these theaters just didn't want their computers hacked.

Response gets even more absurd as Austin Alamo Draft House is forced to remove "Team America, World Police", which it had substituted to replace "The Interview".

Ransomware hackers are rolling in dough.
"Cybercriminals behind the TorrenLocker malware may have earned as much as $585,000 over several months from 39,000 PC infections worldwide, of which over 9,000 were from Australia."
If its' making that kind of money, this type of attack is going to explode.
