In the United States will spend 100 million to fight the Russian and Chinese Internet spies

An interesting program launches the United States this year. The goal of this program is to prevent attackers from taking over various US infrastructure (electrical networks, subways, etc.). It is interesting that after the recent report of the American special services, it became clear what they fear most of all - Russians and Chinese. According to the American fighters against cybercrime, the work of the mentioned infrastructures is constantly monitored by intelligence. services of Russia and China, and the Americans do not know how close they are to the management systems of these infrastructures. So, to clarify the situation and to combat cyber spies, Americans will spend $ 100 million running the program "Perfect Citizen" (Perfect Citizen).

The American special services, in their own words, are not even able to assess the whole situation. As mentioned above, they are very afraid of the fact that the Russians and the Chinese have gotten close to computer control systems for such objects as trains on the subway, airport runways, telephone lines, and so on. The fact is that such objects at the very beginning were created without the backing thought that such networks should be protected from intruders from the Internet.

Now experts in the fight against hackers and terrorists will unite their efforts, installing a variety of sensors that monitor "unusual activity" in computer networks. What is this “unusual activity”, and how its tracking will be conducted until no one can tell, this is a secret sealed off. But the special services are already actively negotiating with various key companies, both public and private, about installing sensors to monitor the aforementioned “unusual activity”.

I wonder if the tracking system will be implemented in the infrastructure of the network providers? I remember that in China there was already talk of the need to fight hackers, as a result of which every inhabitant of the Middle Kingdom received tracking software, which in no case can be deleted.

And the very name "Ideal Citizen" ... Not very far from the maxim "Big Brother is watching you." Or not?

Here is a little more detail about the essence of the new program (English).
