Re: Article in today's NYT - cybersecurity

[Peter Setlak <psetlak () COLGATE EDU>]

I agree. I always find it interesting when the media picks up on "breaking

should be) aware of the issues affecting our networks. My edit for this
article would have been to not focus on research institutions but rather
shed the light on all universities.
