and steal sensitive, and possibly classified, information from networks.

the near future.

That sobering assessment comes from cybersecurity expert Seymour Goodman,
who was in Washington, D.C., yesterday to give a talk on securing the
Internet at the Hudson Institute. Goodman, a professor of international

frank about the extremely difficult path nations face in trying to secure
the Internet. In fact he was downright apologetic.
