I disagree. Experts have understood the true risk of a cyber war for over a decade, at least. The infrastructure of the United States, both public and private, is woefully unprepared for such attacks to be brought against it.

I'm reminded of a recent quote describing how getting stuxnet into Iran may have been difficult, but getting something into a US power plant would be trivially simple by comparison.

Not only is the US infrastructure not ready, but it looks like no one is actively trying to change that.

I imagine that businesses won't see the need to waste all the money until something big happens and they're forced to.



"Not only is the US infrastructure not ready, but it looks like no one is actively trying to change that."

Really? I know it's controversial, but that's pretty much what CISPA is supposed to help with.
