(12,530 posts)I've worked in IT forever, and these days, when I think about data security, the "bad guy" in my mind's eye is always our own government. Sure, there are other bad guys, but our own federal government is the biggest and the baddest of them all.

(10,274 posts)McCain ready to tackle cyber threats
Sen. John McCain is 78 years old. But that doesnt mean cyberspace escapes him.
The Arizona Republican and incoming Senate Armed Services Committee chairman says in all his years in Washington 31 total the cyber issue holds a special distinction. McCain told a forum here Wednesday that of all the meetings he has attended on a long list of issues, none has less action happened afterwards than on threats emanating from cyberspace.
Thats why, when asked by a conference moderator about his top agenda items for his coming SASC chairmanship, cyber ranks among the top three.
