Nice article on Security Focus about the US government asking for private sector help for the securing of national infrastructures at the current RSA Conference. With black hats strengthening they’re own cyber-attack capabilities and terrorists increasing their on-line presence, you’d think this would get a little more federal funding.

Maybe there is, and we just don’t know…

No really! Hey, that story’s not so far fetched ! Lingerie can be… secure…

… or something…
