Fair enough. But, when I read about something like this (and this might be because I'm a laymen), I always picture some computer techies racing to come up with something and not knowing half the potential problems that may occur when they let it loose.lkwalker wrote:Governments have been preparing for cyber warfare for 20 years.

Sure, that's true.
