The point is that it could have been a lot worse for Saudi Aramco. It could have been a total loss, and everyone on every side knows it.
Yes. The snarky response of much of the Digerati to Panetta's trundling out of "Cyber Pearl Harbor" and other near-cliches is unhelpful if Panetta's remarks are based not on armchair risk assessment but rather on the results of experiments that will not be reported. If true, then events like the Aramco event provide a chance to use a non-secret body of information to hint at bodies of information for which the non-secret event is, effectively, a public confirmation of what can otherwise only be hinted at. Thus I am sure that you, too, eagerly await the mandated universality of electronic health records powered by a Smart Grid, California highways with reserved lanes for autodriven cars, and/or the implementation of participatory democracy as a smartphone app. --dan _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunityinc com https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
