Well, that's another issue entirely, but you are right. :-)
Unfortunately, folks in charge of "national security" with regards to cyber
issues don't realize that if that they can't stop sophisticated Eastern
European criminals from their ongoing pillage & plunder, they will *never*
stop determined attempts at critical infrastructure, espionage, etc.,
because they will simply use similar techniques.
This is serious stuff, and it is so damned pervasive, and happening right
in plain sight.
