Good Monday Morning Folks;

Many cyber situational stories to entertain and tantalize you with this morning!
Pay particular attention to the growing militarism within the People’s Republic of China…in their Naval, Ground and yes, Cyber Forces…
You’ll note also some cybernia news out of the Soviet-bloc…
And lastly, but certainly not least – the American Bar Assoc has a new handbook about cyber…yikes – when lawyer and cyber get mixed together…well you get the picture…

Enjoy today’s cyber news!
