Richard A. Clarke warns us of the havoc a cyber attack would wreak on our national security, and explains what cyber war is, how cyber weapons work, and how vulnerable we are as a nation and as individuals to a web of cyber criminals. In Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It, he traces the rise of the cyber age—from the first cyber crisis meeting in the White House a decade ago to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and the electrical tunnels under Manhattan—and profiles the characters and locations at the center of the battle.

mr.Clarke said the other day on Fresh Air that the Mac is also vulnerable due its parts bieng outsourced like all electronics...so the "bombs" cane implanted via the hradware, etc...
Re the previous listener's comment "Use a mac!"......
Can you please ask Mr. Clarke to clarify if macs are also vulnerable to all of these forms of hacking or not? I think it's more common with pc's but I've also heard that it can happen on a mac. What is Mr. Clarke's opinion? thank you.
hjs- you are deluding yourself if you think that mac's cannot be used for hacking. They can and are.
Can you ask him how the military could possibly recruit the best and brightest when it puts soldiers at risk in real war?
Is there a way to find out if your computer is being used in a hacking operation? I assume Anti-virus is not enough.
use a mac!
Good to hear Mr. Clarke again.
