Security professionals are close to the issue; this isn't likely news to
that community.  Articles like this may provide an opportunity for security
professionals to make business cases on their campuses in order to justify
security improvements or request additional resources.

Not sure that this article is really news. And I wonder how confident
people are in citing amount, or source, of increase. We've seen near
constant "attacks" for years.

The good news about the Internet is that you can get anywhere.
The bad news about the Internet is that anywhere can get to you.
As bandwidth and connectivity grow, so do attack attempts.
