Lockheed Martin System Hacked


Lockheed Martin, one of the world's largest defense contractors, is also known for the great fighter plane F -16 producer was hit hard by hackers this week who used falsified SecurID electronic tokens to gain access in their system. The breach threatens the security of the secret data and information on present and future military with them.
It is not clear till now that anything was stolen during the breach. It isn't even clear what the hackers want, but the attacks are being traced back to an hacking campaign back in March on the RSA Security arm of the EMC Corporation, which is an important information storage firm in the country. The attack compromised the security of anyone using the RSA technology—which means most Fortune 500 companies, other military contractors, and even the Pentagon is operation over this technology
Most of these companies have since taken strong action to deal with the security issues associated with them, but as Rick Moy, president of NSS Labs, told Reuters, "Given the military targets, and that millions of compromised keys are in circulation, this is not over."
Lockheed looks quite confident that their broader security systems are in place and they have served to prevent or at least soften the blow from this breach. RSA, however, is at a different condition as facing critics because of this slag.
The RSA breach did raise concerns about any security tokens that had been compromised, and EMC now faced tough questions about whether "they can repair that product line or whether they need to ditch it and start over again," he said

Apocalypse Now still the all time Great work


The year of 1970s was Coppola's decade because in that period he was seriously involved in a series of masterly films, as screenwriter on Patton, producer of American Graffiti, director of the first two Godfather films and The Conversation, and finally, in 1979, as true auteur of Apocalypse Now. They illuminated the viewers times, and one can think that Apocalypse Now is not merely the greatest film to come on celluloid out of the Vietnam experience but one of the brilliant works about the madness of our times. He then immediately followed the early morning preview screening of Apocalypse Now at Cannes with a press conference which he began by his famous statement that "My film is not about Vietnam, it is Vietnam," and he went on to state that during the shooting "little by little we went insane". How brave and prophetic he was.
Short description about the film:
Coppola took Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad's enigmatic story about the cruelties of colonialism, and turned it into a 20th-century fable about neocolonialism in which the story's eminently sane narrator, Marlow, becomes Captain Willard, the Special Services hitman, as crazy as his assigned quarry, Colonel Kurtz. The difference is that unlike everyone else around him, from the top brass down, Willard knows he's mad. Everything about the Taliban, al-Qaida, the pressures that took us into Afghanistan and Iraq, the assault on Abbottabad and the deadly troubles that lie ahead are to be found here in Willard's journey. It's a work of genius that may falter a little towards the end, though not fatally. This newly released version is more or less the one shown at Cannes and is definitive. The half-hour of material introduced 10 years ago in Apocalypse Now Redux is of no value, it diminishes the film and is to
(Apocalypse Now,Production year: 1979,Countries: UK, USA,Runtime: 153 mins,Directors: Francis Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola,Cast: Dennis Hopper, Frederic Forrest, Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishburne,Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Rpobert Duvall)
