Clearly there's no factual data behind this assertion.  The author doesn't
even bother to 
offer any supporting argument.  He just keeps on going to the next set of
unsupported 
generalizations and self-serving quotes.  This article strikes mas as just
more FUD from 
scene kids^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H "security experts" with aspirations of cashing
in their 
stock options and a reporter who ought to know better, but doesn't.
