#12Warning signs of cyber crime * Is your child spending all of their time online? * Are they interested in coding? Do they have independent learning material on computing? * Do they have irregular sleeping patterns? * Do they get an income from their online activities, do you know why and how? * Are they resistant when asked what they do online? * Do they use the full data allowance on the home broadband? * Have they b…
Sounds familiar...
* Has your son asked you to change ISPs?
* Are you finding programs on your computer that you don't remember installing?
* Has your child asked for new hardware?
* Does your child read hacking manuals?
* How much time does your child spend using the computer each day?
* Does your son use Quake?
* Is your son becoming argumentative and surly in his social behaviour?
* Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?
* Has your son radically changed his appearance?
* Is your son struggling academically?

#13Apologies for veering slightly off-topic and the pedantry. Is 'cyber' actually used by technically competent folk now? It's been cropping up alot with the 'cyber' crime, 'cyber' attacks happening in 'cyber' space recently, needing improved 'cyber' security skills. Usually the term's reserved for either mass-media outlets, or people trying to scare you.
Coincidentally I was reading this earlier today after coming across a comment on a different article questioning whether pros use the term.

It seems like cyber is generally used for online badness (cybercrime, cyberwar) while the e- prefix is used for online goodness (e-mail, e-sports, e-commerce)

Anecdotally, I only see "cyber" in security-related discussions.
So the answer to the question is, of course, nuanced and anecdotal.
The media has misused it so much, that much of the information security world (With the exception of pentesters from what I've seen) seems to have given up trying to use the proper terminology. They still seem to be trying to recover the term "hacker", though.

Indeed. The whole page seems surprisingly... reasonable.

At first glance, I thought this is what he was quoting. I haven't thought about this page in a long time.

#17This article, IMHO, represents the fact that, globally, we're approaching Peak Government.
As government takes up more and more resources and provides less and less value, it also falls out of touch with reality, and then we get to this point...

"Cyberwarfare" etc. are fairly standard words in international law, so if you are working/studying in that field you'll certainly see it being used by the technically competent. My MA Law thesis ended up including it in the title, and I'd consider myself fairly technically competent (I have a BA in Computer Science), though I'll admit it still sounds a little silly to me at times.

The video was also very well done. I was really expecting it to be massively cringe-worthy, but it gets the point across in a great way.
