Aiki14: Twitter Attacked

  • jeremystein · 4 months ago
    i have a lot to say on this subject and i plan on writing a blog post about it later.

    you are spot on-- its not a technology problem. its a human problem.

    you can put large penalties and complex systems in place to help combat the issue, but eventually someone will figure out a way around it.

    my bet is on the entrepreneurs. there are always new security startups popping up. we just need one that deals with social media. i think that will be a VERY lucrative business for someone willing to build it.

    I imagine you have an infinitely greater understanding of the nuts and bolts of this and I look forward to your take on it. If only there was a way to link your blog to mine so the folks that read this could then click on a link to your post. ;)

    Jim - wanted to see if I could interview you for TraderInterviews.com about how you approach the markets. Very informal - takes just about 20 minutes over the phone. Sorry about reaching you via comment - couldn't locate another way.

    All the best,

    Fame and fortune is a great motivator.

    If one side is only admired by their circle of anti-social peers, and the other receives piles of cash & the admiration of the masses, I wonder who will win that war... tough call.

    I used to drive by Dresden on the way to Berlin and I'd always have two thoughts:

    1) I should go check this place out - I wonder how bad the damage actually was & how much still remains.
    &
    2) Isn't that the name of the club in Swingers?

    Great article

    Well Said @Aiki14
    The Recent NYSE Denial Of Service Attack Caused Serious Trading Problems For Traders All Over The World & Real Money Was Lost On Bad Data Feeds During That Attack. I'm Sure Not Much Was Mentioned Of It As N. Korea Had The 2 American Hostages But It Was An Act Of War & At Some Point A Very Real Effort Needs To Be Made To Completly Stop These Disruptions.

    Keep Up The Good Work
    From @ Chartingstock

    I posted this on Twitter...It makes sense if you are aware that mush of the malware and hacking comes from the now expunged parts of the USSR. Also interesting is Obama's call for a CyberCzar ..

    Here you go. Here's the reason for the DDoS (Denial of Services Attack):

    - Twitter, Facebook attack targeted one user
    - http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-10305200-245....

    A pro-Georgian blogger with accounts on Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal and Google's Blogger and YouTube was targeted in a denial of service attack that led to the site-wide outage at Twitter and problems at the other sites on Thursday, according to a Facebook executive.
