While I completely agree that the TH case in Israel must represent the "tip
of the iceberg" and for sure there will be similar cases in Europe and the
US (have already been). But it is pretty useless to blow this particular
horn. I am sure many Israeli firms are scanning their machines to look
for the presence of Trojans, but apparently the impact in the US has been
close to zero. Not until security incidents actually occur do most
companies respond. So just wait....
