The Singularity is Near & APT briefing

I really should do a full-fledged post about Advanced Persistent Threats(and the hype around the term), because that is all it is. This term has been around for a couple of years, but the concept itself has obviously been around much longer. It just so happens it is getting a lot of media attention recently. regardless, here is 3 articles on the subject.

Excellent article on Advanced Persistent Threats vs. Web-Based Systems by Jeremiah Grossman.

What is an APT and what does it want?

Anatomy of an APT. (from August 2009)


Ray Kurzweil is a prized author and one of the best futurist of our time. This book goes into the future of Artificial Intelligence and the social impact of technology.
