Then I will only make one highly opinionated comment... Stay with me,
Attacker's like these have shown us they are willing to wage war... not just on people and there identity and networks for ransom's, but just as well on one of mankind's greatest tools to have been invented next to the automatic bread slicer(witch use computer's too)... we have come to rely on computers for almost every aspect of modern civilization(I will not get down to those details)... It seems time to put the same scientific methods and product's of the warmongers to the very use of defeating this massive threat... I wouldn't half doubt that any well funded terrorist group might just be getting their start by cyber crime. But this would have to be a war that the very creators of the computers would have to wage behind a cyber veil of their own, employing their own as they see fit, they would have to want to protect their own assets i would think and be willing to finally say "Yes, This IS War now"... and who knows they already may be doing this... (whistling a happy tune as an "Anonymous" poster plugs in the key provided below to submit this...)
