nir Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Over the years, we've seen escalations in cyber attacks which have led to world leaders, such as Barrack Obama, calling for an end to international hacking while also declaring that "frankly we have more capacity than any other country, both offensively and defensively". However, as we've seen, that hasn't stopped agencies such as the NSA from stockpiling zero-day exploits which were eventually outed and published online. After the release and proliferation of the WannaCrypt ransomware, based on an NSA-developed exploit, Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith laid partial blame at the feet of governments for allowing such stockpiling to occur. Towards the start of 2017, Smith had called for a "Digital Geneva Convention" to act as a catalyst for change against cyber crimes, in general. Microsoft ✔@Microsoft We are all digital citizens. Join us in the fight to #StopCyberwarfare and demand digital peace: http://msft.social/4zDKVb 8:15 PM - Sep 29, 2018 Sign the Digital Peace Now Petition digitalpeace.microsoft.com Twitter Ads info and privacy Now, in a bid to raise awareness, Microsoft has launched the Digital Peace Now initiative to raise awareness and encourage people to put an end to cyber warfare as well as stopping attacks from spreading into the physical world. The petition calls upon world leaders to help effect change in this respect and to stop the weaponization of the digital world. Those who add their details to the petition can also opt-in to email updates from Microsoft's Digital Peace initiative at the bottom of the page. Of course, while petitions can demonstrate solidarity amongst like-minded individuals and groups around the world, it does not by any means legally compel governments to carry out the actions called for therein. However, if you are interested in throwing your support behind the initiative, you can access and fill in the petition at the link below.

steven36 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 That's because Microsoft Cloud is not yet up too the standards to win the $10 billion 2year cyber war contract and can't win the bid only Amazon is up to standards. http://www.securitynewspaper.com/2018/08/03/pentagon-cyber-war-cloud-10-billion-project-bidding-process-open/ So Microsoft is trying to put a wrench in it because they cant get in they bided for the contract so there hypocrites. The only thing that could stop it would be the Government the ones who funds it to cut it out of there budget . In a few years the USA will have a $10 billion cyberwar cloud and Trump gave them the go ahead to attack cybercrime about a week ago. Microsoft is saying one thing while the rest of the world is building cyberwar capabilities . it will be a big tech company in the end who fuels it.. they own most of the cloud . Things can change in hurry we will soon find out in 36 days more days https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?msg=2018 Midterm Elections&p0=263&year=2018&month=11&day=6&hour=12&min=0&sec=0&fromtheme=election To hear the progressives tell it they will but they was wrong about it before in Nov 2016 .. The Chinese propaganda trolls are not that smart, instead acting like there from the USA they try get the lefts vote by posting Chinese hype witch most people already think the news is fake anyway. Ether way the right or the left is going to blame it on some country it was rigged. When the right loses they can be just as bad as the left , the last time the economy was doing good the right tired to impeach the president that was in there then. If the left get in congress Trump may very well be forced to step down, or be the 1st president to be impeached and convicted . https://www.thoughtco.com/presidents-who-were-impeached-3368130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
