I’ve spent the past few years working as a journalist with some of the best cyber security and privacy reporters in the world. I have been interviewing a whole host of people from the National Security Agency (NSA) and the CIA, as well as members of the US Congress, to name a few. The interview I did with the former head of the NSA, James Clapper, is one that probably needs to be talked about for many years to come.
Ive also spent the past few years working for the New York Times. I have spent a good chunk of my time writing about privacy and security issues. The job I did with the Times is one that seems to be gaining momentum in the online world. Although some of the more prominent privacy and security journalism sites were pretty down on the new job, I think some of the good stuff is already starting to move over.
Now, I was going to say that I didn’t really know anything about the job, but I can see how that might be the case.
I had been writing about the cyber security aspects of the Times job for some time, and decided that I might want to have a more in depth look at it. The Times has a lot of great cybersecurity coverage, and in general, I am a huge fan of the online security and privacy reporting by the Times and other news sites.
So I decided to check out the job postings. First of all, I am surprised that there is no mention of the cyber threats being posed by Wikileaks, and that is a real shame. Wikileaks has been one of the most important sites for exposing the flaws in the US government’s cyber security, and I wish the Times would do a better job of keeping it up to date with the latest.
I can’t speak for the NYT, but I know that the Times does a great job of keeping their stories up to date with news about the latest cyber threats. Maybe I’m just a little bit old-school, but we’re still getting headlines in the news that are years old.
The US government has claimed that they have a cyber war on, so this would be a good time to remind the public that the US has a lot more to worry about than the threat of some random hacker. The threat may be a little more complex than simply a hacker, and not just because its the government. The government has invested heavily in cyber espionage and cyber warfare in the US to protect itself, and the US has a lot of cyber security issues.
Cyber security is a huge problem in the US, and has a wide variety of different threats that are more nuanced than simply “hackers”. There is the risk of hackers gaining access to systems that don’t have secure passwords, and this is an issue that we’ve seen in the US more recently than other nations. The government has also made it much more difficult for the public and non-government organizations to access data by using encryption.
With the recent release of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) we’ve received a lot of questions about what we can do to educate the public on a variety of cyber security and privacy issues. We are working with the government to create a website that will help people understand how to protect their system from cyber attacks. We’re also working with the government to create a cyber attack training and awareness program that will help educate the public on the risks of hacking.
It’s one thing to think that a hacker has hacked into your system, but once you know that, you might be completely paralyzed for a day.
