In an effort to defend against frequent cyber attacks, the Pentagon is
considering building a new computer network to handle e-commerce and
public web pages, cutting off existing connections to the Internet.
This follows an increase in the rate of successful attacks on the
Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET). While a
separate network sounds like a good idea in theory the practicalities of
completely separating NIPRNET from the Internet will not be easy.

WB Scraps 'Real Hackers' Cartoon
Rumor has it that Warner Brothers and Mattel have scrapped an idea for a
new Saturday morning cartoon with a tie in toy line called "Real
Hackers".
The defunct storyline was to portray a group of real life hackers in
cartoon form, reformed and fighting for good. Amongst the hackers to be
represented were 'phiber optik', 'bernie s', 'death veggie', 'emmanuel
goldstein' and 'weld pond' as cyber warriors as they fought criminals
bent on destroying the internet. It is unknown why Warner Brothers and
Mattel scrapped this idea or if it even existed in the first place but
in this hot pre Christmas marketplace, one can only wonder how long it
will be before this ground breaking idea starts making money for
somebody.
