<div dir="ltr">I am not sure that I would qualify this yet as Digital Pearl Harbor. Could it be the Archduke Franz Ferdinand moment? Maybe. In the sense that this one event could spiral or thrust us into a conflict. This is such a hard thing to say because the dynamics between War World I, World War II, and everything in between was different that today. It's early days but it would fit the narrative may a little more. Maybe what we are all searching for is the Digital equivalent of 9/11 which would fit this narrative better potentially. <div><br></div><div>If North Korea was responsible for damaging Sony Pictures, that would be a Nation State inflicting somewhat irreparable damage to a company that straddles both the U.S. and Japan. The interesting thing about that is that in Japan Sony is pseudo-state influence because of their economic model, while in America its not. The question then becomes does Industries and corporations/companies being harmed by Nation State become military operations? I guess Companies are now people according to some Supreme Court decisions but the verdict is still out. <br><div><br></div><div>Some people have called the Edward Snowden revelations over the past year the Digital Pearl Harbor because of what has been said and what has been done. Consider the dynamic changes in 'cyber space' that has happened since the Snowden revelations? New Media outlets, hostilities and distrust between governments, technology companies, and the like. My vote is that there will not be an equivalent to a digital pearl harbor until a military installation is harmed in such a way to cause the damage and shock and awe that a surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor military base suffered during the real incident.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Until then, I don't know if its boom of an article, more of a bust. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 11:33 AM, Dave Aitel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dave.aitel@gmail.com" target="_blank">dave.aitel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://cybersecpolitics.blogspot.com/2014/12/pearl-harbor.html" target="_blank">http://cybersecpolitics.blogspot.com/2014/12/pearl-harbor.html</a><br><div><br></div><div>Boom!</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>-dave</div><div><br></div></font></span></div>
