State-sponsored hacking has been a major concern lately. From Russia’s “Red October” virus, which spied on embassies and diplomats in multiple countries, to China’s ongoing intrusion into government and corporate databases in the US, it seems as though private hackers are no longer the only ones we need to worry about.

Prad’s steering wheel looked to be a tad bit dented as he pulled into the employee parking lot that morning.

Caught between ecstasy and anxiety, he expressed himself by repetitively thrusting his fist […]

Prad pulled himself out of bed at 8:15 am. One look in the mirror confirms his worst suspicion. He looks as baked as he feels. Crunk hangover, happens when you mix weed and alcohol. Never advisable, but damn if that beer doesn’t feel so much better going down when you’re high. He has just forty-five […]

Alone in his cubicle again. The clock is moving so slowly it’s almost running backwards. The memory of some weird dream has been taunting him all day. It was one of those cut offs, when you wake up suddenly and your mind is able to hang on to the tail end of it for a […]

Tuesday night, t-minus five and a half minutes. Puget campus is virtually deserted, at least in the vicinity of the main student residence.

Warning! Explicit and suggestive language follows (Like that ever scared anyone away!)… It’s Friday night and Prad feels like doing something while he’s out of the house.
