NSA: Cybercrime is 'the greatest transfer of wealth in history'

It's official, the 99% are stupid as fuck and worship their slave masters.

Yes! You guys are so right- was gonna say that. And in fact I was initially thinking perhaps this guy was setting the stage for blaming the next financial crisis on mysterious cyber heists (that presumably weren't traced or documented). But, I think he's saying intellectual property and not finances were stolen, so maybe not. Yeah, cybercrime is a huge deal, but perhaps companies can just take sensitive computers off the larger internet. They can just set up intranets w/ perhaps a few extra computers w/ full internet access for research/email. Actually most people probably already have their own laptop, so could just use those in conjunction w/ intranet only comps at work. Obviously transferring files to customers and collaborators still would involve vulnerability, but at least it's not persistent.

cybercrime
This will be how they convince the sheeple that the internet needs to be controlled
PERFECT

yeah, transfer of wealth OUT of the hands of the uber-wealthy.

boohoo.

heheh...good luck selling your next talking point bud.

IF THEY HAVE ALL OF THE MONEY HOW ARE THE SHEEP SUPPOSE TO BUT PLASTIC JUNK FROM CHINA AND KEEP THE WORLD ECONOMY GOING?

I think maybe a super fast drone fleet that could deliver physical media might have a market. Or you could just do it the old fashioned way and send someone on a flight to deliver the files.... more security but less convenience. But perhaps cheaper than collective billions spent on a police state.

Well, but if the drone was carrying media from multiple sources you'd run into similar problems as a digital transfer. I'd probably want my own drone to send physical media.... complete w/ tracking so I'd know where it was at all times. And lots of security so the recipient would have to enter some codes to open the cargo bay and I'd be notified if any incorrect codes were entered and how many times. If incorrect codes were entered I'd be notified in real time and be able to communicate in real time w/ the person trying to access the cargo. If they failed to identify themselves properly I'd use the self destruct mechanism to destroy the intel and the thief. Ha ha, that might work.

This time I think the NSA is wrong, on it being the biggest transfer of wealth in history. I would say the biggest transfer of wealth was out of the pockets of working U.S. working Citizen, to the Federal Reserve since it has been in started here.

Well I agree, since I said that on page 1 and page 2 of this thread.

Bears repenting doesn't it, and grand mind think alike! :) Great isn't good enough for us, don't you agree!

They've already moved all the manufacturing offshore, what is left to steal? A few Hollywood movies?

Ttown?

pales in comparison to "greater good" federal wealth transfers, aka taxation
