    Cool Cyber Command ?

    http://www.afcyber.af.mil/

    Their site hardly looks like anything "government". And I wonder why they aren't keeping such a low profile as their Chinese and Russian counterparts. So, Anyone here a member ?

    I have seen one or two news articles about them setting that up.

    I think that what we are looking at is some sort of recruitment exercise front for it.

    I think that at present the staff are mostly on secondment from elsewhere whilst they get it going?

    Send them your CV

    Gen. Lord recently answered some questions from the slashdot community (even dodged one of mine :P)

    I'm tachyon13 there. I'm not so much disappointed that my question wasn't really answered (got to expect that from a PR perspective) but it's that he seemed to claim ignorance that 'security isn't a priority' is not common practice in the government (That is, till a breach happens).

    Oh well. Good reading though, and at the very least, he took the time to field questions.

    I recognized the name (Cyber Command) from the commercials they started running not too long ago. I tried to search for the online version, and came up with this: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/200...rce-cyber.html

    It's cyber war! Lawyers representing the Air Force's elite electronic warriors have sent YouTube a DMCA takedown notice demanding the removal of the 30-second spot the Air Force created to promote its nascent Cyber Command.
    And then the icing on the cake:
    U.S. Government works aren't even copyrightable. YouTube doesn't know that -- presumably because it has no lawyers -- and it's taken down the video. A spokeswoman said in an e-mail that the Google-owned service has no choice but to comply with DMCA notices. That's not quite right, though. YouTube has no legal obligation to remove non-infringing content.
    Does it get any better than that?
