[Nottingham] [Talk] Thursday 19/04/2018: Cyberwarfare in the Real World

[Martin]

Folks,

At the moment, we have various strange headlines in the general news and
some surprising warnings and alerts in some of the official and
technical channels...

Is there really a cyberwar raging largely unseen but with great portent
across the internet?

Will anyone notice?

What might be happening?


For a very unofficial observation to some of the ongoing goings-on, roll
along to a largely untechnical summary of what there might be and with
what portent...

And note that Linux systems and Linux-like systems run most of the
internet infrastructure.

(Aside, and yes, minix appears to 'secretly' run most of the
out-of-band, yet network connected, scary management controllers...).


All at the newly refurbished:

All welcome!
