Hi Mob....l'm not affected but it's an unnerving thought that these kind of attacks are happening on a far too frequent basis....l don't think l'm over reacting when l say these kind of attacks if not thwarted could escalate into a situation where we don't know who has their finger on the nuclear button.

Hmm!...perhaps l should stop reading sci-fi comics?

I suppose when they do find the culprit responsible there will be some excuse made why they should not be brought to book. When you consider the damage these characters cause and the cost to the companies concerned I think more than a slap on the wrist is called for even if they do claim, as in past cases, to have some sort of mental illness. They know what they are doing and it is unacceptable.

The problem is that it is almost impossible to find the culprit as they are adept at hiding themselves.

I am always amazed just how young they are when they do get caught.

Unfortunately foxy most of theses young kids now live in virtual worlds where social interaction only exists in their minds. Face to face communication has become as alien as the games they play..... It's not surprising we're churning out rogue hackers who think they can control the world.

The way things are going we'll be safer keeping our personal information under our beds.

Couldn't it be argued that these attacks are actually improving security? I know it's not much consolation to those who are affected by them, but it keeps companies on their toes. The trouble is that as soon as one attack is sorted, along comes another.

Maybe companies should employ hackers to keep their systems safe!

They do (well ex hackers actually) - as does the Security Services

How long before evolutionary change causes square eyes, one hand which only grasps a mobile and a right hand to grasp a Coke can? Hopefully they will also have a rear view mirror to see what mayhem is going on around them whilst checking said mobiles.

Funny you should say that foxy because whenever l talk to kids about computers they seem to talk in a different language to me....could this be the start of the mutation process...scary!!

Except in America where they seem to want to lock them up for ever.
