#HTTPS connections on port 443 received forged replies.

Chinese web users couldn’t access websites outside the People’s Republic yesterday. The outage lasted an hour and a quarter—with no explanation. Nobody’s sure whether it was a mistake or an ominous test of new #censorship capabilities.

But some are linking it to a recent outage in #Pakistan. In #SBBlogwatch, we shave with Hanlon’s razor.

"Israel effectively serves as the world’s largest business incubator – though, in its case, not just by nurturing start-up companies.

Rather, it offers global corporations the chance to test and refine new weapons, machinery, technologies, data collection and automation processes in the occupied territories.
