"Certainly, anyone following the news and listening to what
we’ve been saying here will recognize these trends. All are
natural consequences of increased connectivity and increased
presence of valued information and resources online, coupled
with weak security and largely ineffectual law enforcement."

"If value is present and there is little or no protection, and
if there is also little risk of being caught and punished, then
there is going to be a steady increase in system abuse."

- - Professor Eugene H. Spafford (someone who I have long
respected & admired), in a very insightful comment on the
CERIAS Blog regarding the 2008 McAfee Virtual Criminology
Report.
