Bruce Schneier: The Threat of Cyberwar Grossly Exaggerated

By CircleID Reporter

Security expert Bruce Schneier in a blog post today writes: “It’s about who is in charge of cyber security, and how much control the government will exert over civilian networks. And by beating the drums of war, the military is coming out on top. ... General Keith Alexander, the current commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, hypes it every chance he gets. This isn’t just rhetoric of a few over-eager government officials and headline writers; the entire national debate on cyberwar is plagued with exaggerations and hyperbole.”
