Second, this is how criminals work with other criminals. We would not get far by trying to solve these fast evolving global problems with topdown control or through government directives and rules. As you yourself pointed out, a botnet is literally a network of robots, whereby robot we mean a computer thats been captured and made to run software neither provided by the maker or authorized or installed by its owner. It has conflict and so forth. The only hard and fast requirement for any of this software is interoperability, meaning it merely has to work. The cost of the internets spectacular growth d. Sorry the cost is much of the software we run was not adequately tested. The challenge for the internet is perhaps theres more assurance that an ul listed toaster will not burn our house, whereas some of our devices are insulated from becoming a tool of online criminals.

We have received a number of referrals from this committee and we appreciate your confidence and ability to work with the employees that your office refers. So thats one thing. Its already happening. We are doing everything that we possibly can. Weve set up a priority system and we free allocated staff to handle the va employee claims. But as the numbers increase its a very hard to keep up. We were at capacity before. In the retaliation cases now it exceeds 130, and the number as i mentioned continues to increase pretty much daily. We are an agency that has 120 employees more or less.
