Il y a deux espèces de nouvelles : les bonnes et les mauvaises... et quitte à vous surprendre, je vous dirais que les mauvaises ne sont jamais nouvelles... elles sont fort anciennes... Encore faut-il que l'on s'en souvienne et toute méprise vient de ce que l'on ignore qu'elles ne sont que des reprises.

It is often said that the American military is fighting every war based on the lessons learned from the last one. Today, that’s not an option because its past conflicts will not prepare the US for the battlefield of cyberspace.

A billion-dollar aircraft carrier and its companion attack group can be destroyed with a handful of missiles. A cyberattack from Russia or China may know no limits and no antidote. This is the world that Richard Clarke looks at in this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast.
