During a keynote presentation at the RSA Conference on April 8 2008, Michael Chertoff of Homeland Security said that the USA is working on the cyber equivalent of a Manhattan Project.

"The human and economic sacrifices from a cyber-attack can be devastating ... on par with what this country experienced on September 11," Chertoff said, calling on the private sector and computer security professionals to partner with the federal government on creating a valuable early warning system for major network attacks.

In the days since the conference we have received reports from an anonymous informant that technicians for Creature, Inc have been observed moving certain "black box technology" into many "Internet exchange points" around the USA.

What will this mean for you? Stay tuned......
