Search broadens in defense from cyber attacks

Washington Post:
South Korea seeks hackers to defend against North Korean cyberattacks

The defense ministry and intelligence agency are hosting a competition in a quest for computer whizzes who can defend South Korea's technological front lines.

When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
