Good morning from Taipei, Republic of China – (ROC) Taiwan –

MicroSolved will be presenting at HITCON 2013 here in Taipei this week, among visits to other ‘agencies’…if you are here in Asia and can attend HITCON 2013 this week – please do and drop by to say ‘hello’ as Red Dragon Rising presents entirely in Mandarin Chinese…

Of particular note for today’s Asian Cyber Threat Intelligence SA are stories about the US targeting Chinese Cyber spies…interesting mention in the WSJ about offensive uses of cyber weapons directed at the People’s Republic of China…is the US prepared for the 2nd & 3rd order effects of this type of cyber targeting?
