Hackers or worse yet crackers are becoming a global threat.Iran managed to bring down a U.S drone by hacking it. What direction should Kenya take to fight this epidemic considering the people in charge have no clue about such issues?

Its true.It happened last december.The drone parked nicely into one of iran's airbases without a scratch.Not most countries, the world.Wikileaks proved that.I read an article that the U.S. has acknowledged it doesn't have enough cyber security professionals.You can't develop a system that's hard to crack if you're not a hacker.That's the problem and if you hire hackers they will be good for a while but they will become ignorant of the new trends.Its a strange problem.

There are numerous hacking groups and nations with teams of hackers working together to crack systems, software and networks. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time for any system to be hacked/cracked.

I have been grappling with this question today. Notice, the question is not whether we should love the oppressor, but how, we are to put our love into action.

Let it not be lost to us that love is a force that not only creates, but also a force that heals.

Oppression is a spiritual and political ailment that begins when the individual seeks to protect and defend his/her ego. And for this defense to be complete he must seek to dominate.

One thing that people feel justified to defend is their freedom, and that is how they lose it.

But freedom can only be enjoyed when one gets rid of the urge to defend it, and instead embrace the oppressor with the force of love.

This is the art of spiritual warfare: spiritual healing.

Apropos, do you think Egypt's president, Morsi, will truly protect the revolution by having all the powers in the kingdom? Definitely not! We are about to see an upsurge in protests and dissatisfaction.

Like which country, America? See Hannah Arendt's 'on revolution'. The Americans had no revolution.

After losing the 'old empire' the British resorted to the common wealth to protect her interests.

'Know yourself; know your enemy!'

How would you love one who is not your enemy?

Remember, 'the greatest general is he who conquers without violence'.

Legislation might be a good place to start. But just like everywhere else, there will be good guys and bad guys. It's a dance, a game, who'll out do the other. I take comfort that evil is never triumphant over good, not for long.

2 out of 3 online hackers work for the US government.

Ethical hackers you mean?

There is no solution to this problem, is what I meant. Seeking for a solution is akin to ending crime, ending theft, ending greed. As long as there is a devil out there, huwesmek

And as for our politicians, an ethical hacker needs to fleece a few, before they can truly understand what cyber crime is. Amani haiji ila kwa ncha ya upanga.

They can target all they want but it will take a miracle to end.

Who is a hacker? You could be sleeping with one in your bed. She suspects you are cheating and conspires to get into your mail. What will you do? Ship her to guantanamo?

Boss, if I were you I'd let it slide. Its a cat n' mouse game. Catch the mouse and it mutates. Hackers are not just after your info, they are now revolutionaries, what is happening to Israel after their attack in Gaza. End results are better cats, better mouses and developing systems.
