Related: About this forumUS ignites cyber warfare through Stuxnet
The Internet is the future frontier when it comes to war, and lately legislation in America has revolved around the topic of handling the country's battles on the Web. According to a recent New York Times article, the White House and Israel were behind cyber attacks against Iran's nuclear program. The computer worm known as Stuxnet has been seen as hypocrisy on America's part, but why isn't the US practicing what it's preaching? Trevor Timm, activist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, joins us with more on the cyber hypocrisy.

(55,981 posts)5. I wasnt referring to who will take the money, only where it might wind up.
And my use of Nigeria was flip. My feeling is that it will be Japan. They will gain access to bank accounts and freeze them and bring the financial world to it's knees. And I cant blame it this time on vodka. I am actually drinking tea at the moment.
