The next battle for the survival of the free world won't be fought on the beaches, or in the streets, it'll be fought in cyberspace. This isn't simply a vision of the grim dark future; this is the new reality that we must learn to live with. Whether you like it or not, cyberwarfare will affect you and your online activities. Not only are the Chinese trying to break into your computer, but the US government is also breaking into your computer in order to uncover whether you're a part of a Chinese sleeper cell. As a final measure, the US government is constructing an Internet kill switch and a secret backdoor into your systems.
China
North Korea isn't the only the only nation keeping Communism alive. After 30 years deprived of Reagan's leadership, the United States let it's self get infiltrated by Communist script kiddies. While American hackers are looking for better ways to lure kiddies into shock sites and spread porn, China is breading a class of patriotic, Maoist hackers who would attack sites parsing China's amazing human rights and good taste. Chinese hacker groups, such as the Honker Union and Red Hacker Alliance seek to turn China into a superpower and undermine Chinese separatist groups.
Kylin
Kylin (v3) is a secure Linux distribution that has the official approval of the Chinese government, and it's supposed five times as secure as your Windows. Made to be un-hackable, Kylin is the first OS made specifically to screw with the CIA's attempts to learn what's going on on the other side of the Pacific but allows the Chinese government full access to your porn. Fortunately, Kylin is simply a prepackaged version of FreeBSD and a paper tiger.
United States
How prepared is the United States in case of a cyber-attack? According to one study, we're fucked. A well-devised cyber-attack could shut down the entire country without Presidential consent.
In response, Obama created Cyber Command and Jew Lieberman crafted a Internet kill switch bill. As with the Patriot Act, the public reception to all this was mixed. Apparently, the American people prefer Freedom of Talking Shit to preventing another 9/11.
Blogosphere
Cyberwars aren't simply fought between governments and hackers; subtle manipulation of the Internet can sway public opinion. Ever notice how a hoard of liberals appear to be stalking the comments section of Yahoo! News, or how a herd of conservatives appear to lurking on the comments section of Fox News? There are people whose sole reason for using the Internet is to advocate their political views in these comments sections. Groups like as the JIDF and applications such as the Megaphone Desktop Tool can make any critic of Israel's policies look like an evil Nazi.
