Things that Spaf thinks are interesting. This includes the CERIAS Weblogs, his personal blog ramblings, and other items found on the WWW and elsewhere. Material here is mostly related to issues of cyber security, cybercrime and privacy; public policy towards computing; and some of the more bizarre items of behavior that get documented in the news. Also, some news about me, about USACM and about CERIAS. Occasionally, some silly items may find their way here, too.   Share | Tumblr (3.0; @spaf)http://blog.spaf.us/<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9076314/CIA-website-hacked-in-attack-claimed-by-shadowy-cyber-group-Anonymous.html">CIA website hacked in attack 'claimed' by shadowy cyber group Anonymous - Telegraph</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/17542031923http://blog.spaf.us/post/17542031923Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:51:50 -0500<a href="http://www.darkreading.com/security-monitoring/167901086/security/perimeter-security/232600679/five-tactical-security-metrics-to-watch.html">Five Tactical Security Metrics To Watch - Dark Reading</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/17542011659http://blog.spaf.us/post/17542011659Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:51:11 -0500<a href="http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_20120210_8712.php">NSA's whitelisting approach economically blocks computer viruses - Nextgov</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/17541987036http://blog.spaf.us/post/17541987036Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:50:22 -0500<a href="http://www.suntimes.com/business/10508983-420/ex-motorola-worker-guilty-of-trade-secret-theft-not-espionage.html">Ex-Motorola worker guilty of trade secret theft, not espionage - Chicago Sun-Times</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527681293http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527681293Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:02:41 -0500<a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/attacks/232600497">DDoS Tools Flourish, Give Attackers Many Options - Security - Attacks/breaches - Informationweek</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527602788http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527602788Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:01:24 -0500<a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57374422-93/e-mail-viruses-most-likely-to-appear-in-the-morning/">E-mail viruses most likely to appear in the morning | Digital Media - CNET News</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527557370http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527557370Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:00:39 -0500<a href="http://www.nationaljournal.com/tech/groups-warn-of-privacy-concerns-in-cybersecurity-bills-20120209">Groups Warn Of Privacy Concerns In Cybersecurity Bills - Josh Smith - NationalJournal.com</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527503024http://blog.spaf.us/post/17527503024Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:59:44 -0500<a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-0210-peacock-20120210,0,4442472.story">C.D.
