		<description><![CDATA[“Will the next war be a cyber war?” asked one of the IT journalists I’m frequently in dialog with. &#8220;The next war?&#8221;, I thought. “We’re already in a worldwide cyber war against forces that include foreign governments, foreign corporate entities, anarchists, criminals&#8230;even sociopaths,” I responded.

		<description><![CDATA[I’m still getting quite a lot of inquiries regarding hactivism, or the use of computers and computer networks as a means of protest to promote political ends.
