Researchers from Imperva's Hacker Intelligence Initiative (HII) have found dozens of .mil, .gov and .edu web sites which have been hacked and are up for sale due to SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Prime Minister David Cameron and his twin political brother Nick Clegg may have given the British public a very strong impression of not keeping faith with their electoral promises as the only thing consistently consistent about their Coalition Government so far, is their consistency in consistently breaking faith with their electoral promises to the British people consistently, hence they are pursuing exclusivity in governance and seeking to maintain the status quo by deliberately asphyxiating the future of Britain. But some of their ministers appear to be showing Coalitionism is not all about death of creativity in governance.
When a problem is recognized that impacts virtually everyone and a group of experts provides a solution, what can possibly prevent the solution from being used? If the problem was global warming, with the need to reduce CO2 as the solution, it would be easy to identify the extensive buy-in required from scientists and governments around the world as a major issue. If the problem was a computing and communication tool that did not require a keyboard as the human machine interface and you introduce a product (the iPad) that costs $499, you could have sold over 3 million units in 80 days. That’s immediate acceptance by a significant portion of the world’s population and cost was not an issue.
