Clearly there's no factual data behind this assertion. The author doesn't
even bother to
offer any supporting argument. He just keeps on going to the next set of
unsupported
generalizations and self-serving quotes. This article strikes mas as just
more FUD from
scene kids^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H "security experts" with aspirations of cashing
in their
stock options and a reporter who ought to know better, but doesn't.
