Cyber Attacks

You have probably heard parts of President Obama’s speech by now on cyber terrorists. This is an up and coming real potential risk to our country. And it is happening, not only by people hacking into what was considered a secure government system, but to the other extreme of local punks engaging in cyber attacks against private citizens. In either case, both are cyber terrorists.

Nearby to Lake Worth is Tlo Holdings II, Inc., created on February 11, 2005 and located in Boca Raton. This is a company that has been barely mentioned but it devotes a lot of its business to cyber sleuthing. One of the partners, Hank Asher who is president, is applauding Obama for taking a pro-active approach to this very serious and aggressive warfare that is an on-going global problem and poses a very likely threat to our military, banks, law enforcement and even to our power grids. President Obama says that is has happened. Close to home, a breach of security was reported on our computer at Lake Worth Utility.

Asher of Tlo believes that private companies are the key to protecting the US from cyber terrorists more so than the government because a private company can afford to pay for the top scientists in this field. His company developed software that identified terrorists after September 11 and his work led to the arrests of Beltway snipers, Muhammad and Malvo, who killed 10 in the Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC area in 2002.

Even Palm Beach County is using his business. The County started a super predator unit and is going to go after these creeps who prey on children. Our State Attorney, Michael McAuliffe, is convinced that it is a huge problem and he will be using Tlo Holdings’ computers and office space as well as their technical expertise, FREE OF CHARGE. Tlo is offering this service to law enforcement all over the country.

Tlo has leased 143,000 square feet in Boca and plans to hire 5,000 employees. Being sued by his former company for a non-compete clause has not deterred Asher in his business. He has given the government a powerful tool to track terrorists.

On an another note, spreading disinformation is unethical in its lack of regard for the truth. This is a prevalent problem right here in Lake Worth with a few hate blogs that have reared up their ugly heads for the coming election.
