Once that's done, then they will release/announce the news to media and said how the hacking was detected in time, damage controlled blah blah blah. But in reality, they have lost millions/billions per year to organized crimes/hackers and they can't do a thing about it. They can spin how they want it, but people in the know will see through the lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-80576794648122616592011-09-21T14:45:13.786+08:002011-09-21T14:45:13.786+08:00Can't wait for the exchange to implement the h...Can't wait for the exchange to implement the high frequency trading in SG.

A day after the apology, ST published article about how cyber hacking/attack has been on rise. Conincidence? You bet! One thing I've learnt about reading msm, you need to connect the dots. Most often, they just DONT or WONT tell you the truth. Only in SG , like you say, we'll never know the truth when bad things happened. Is Operations Covered-up is so damn good, all these years, when all the so damn smart countries and their super elite squad from economist to politicians and bankers, aero scientist and are making blunders , they NEVER EVER made any . Not even ONCE! The SWF monies keep coming & offset miraculously. The Banks keep floating & no crisis. The Military & Intell keeps functioning, no problem. You name it, they got it! In fact, they are so damn angelic good and infallible, so pure and white that they cannot be taken off the perch. You'll be damned if you believe it.INOTStupidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-16315401941939395292011-09-21T11:33:35.947+08:002011-09-21T11:33:35.947+08:00This is nothing new...passing the buck at the top....This is nothing new...passing the buck at the top.
