Jesus you idiots...

...who are calling for the spooks to swoop in, draconian new internatinal rules on domain ownership and even, yes, assasination would be the frist to get pissy were any of your governments try and do any of that. Get a grip Keith / Alice It's just fucking data.

I'm sure the govt would love to have a new raft of powers over a technology they seem incapable of understanding but at the end of the day you're dealing with an inter-fucking-national network and unless you can get your rules made law in every country in the world then you'll just get your ass hacked from somewhere else.

This shit is a fact of life, these are problems that you can't wish or legislate away - they have to be fixed. If your bank lets some russian teenager clean out your account your bank has failed, they need to sort _their_ shit out not send in a hit squad - I don't know if you've noticed but quite a few banks have started issuing secure tokens totheir customers recently - that's a solution, installing your updates is a solution, being a bit more fucking careful is a solution, blaming the ISPs and the script kiddies is _not_ a solution.
