Thread Name: BS: Campaign of impersonation on Facebook
Subject: RE: BS: Campaign of impersonation on Facebook
Love the way the Guardian article smoothly segues between "bloke is impersonated on facebook" page to:
"The sophistication and relentlessness of these "advanced persistent threat" cyber attacks has convinced intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic that they must have been state-sponsored. Nato has warned its top officials about the dangers of being impersonated on social networking sites, and awarded a £40m contract to a major defence company to bolster security at the organisation's headquarters and 50 other sites across Europe."
Nice segue, but I liked the front page of The Telegraph Friday before last. Full width (of the page) picture of the Queen, The Duchess of Cornwall & the Duchess of Cambridge. Below the picture was a full width headline of the lead story: Witchcraft Threat to Children
My immediate thought was of the classic groups of three witches (see Shakespeare, or Terry Pratchett) described as Matron/Mother Hag/Crone & Maiden. I did wonder whether the juxtaposition was accidental, or not.
