Officials Warn: Cyber War On the US Has Begun 292
snydeq writes "Security pros and government officials warn of a possible cyber 9/11 involving banks, utilities, other companies, or the Internet, InfoWorld reports. 'A cyber war has been brewing for at least the past year, and although you might view this battle as governments going head to head in a shadow fight, security experts say the battleground is shifting from government entities to the private sector, to civilian targets that provide many essential services to U.S. citizens. The cyber war has seen various attacks around the world, with incidents such as Stuxnet, Flame, and Red October garnering attention. Some attacks have been against government systems, but increasingly likely to attack civilian entities. U.S. banks and utilities have already been hit.'"

Well, sucks to be you when "the cloud" evaporates into thin air.
My porn is stored locally, backed up, and yes, technically I guess you could say that the copies the FBI holds on behalf of Megaupload count as off-site storage.
