I didn't want to be the first to bring it up today, but what I _love_ 
about the MOSNEWS link quoting "Kaspersky" is how the "internet" network 
of South Korea going down last week was used as an example how the 
"whole" internet could be brought down.

I'm sorry if SK's network went down [I don't know, didn't hear about 
it]. I have a problem believing it is a useful case study in the global 
network.
