#7  Cyber events should be taken more seriously. This is an act of war if done by a state or an act of terrorism if done by civilians. Decades in prison or bombs from above levels of seriousness.

The lax way these are treated reminds me of the credit card companies and identity theft. Yes it can ruin your life but we think you'd prefer these fine bells and whistles instead of security.
